Handling Complex Road Design Defect Cases
Our firm has the legal resources and knowledge to skillfully pursue car accident injury cases caused by defective road design. We work with experts in engineering and road design who provide the factual information needed in these types of cases. We consider a number of factors to determine liability and fault in a dangerous roadway accident:
- Were signs properly used to warn motorists of inherent dangers?
- Were signs properly maintained?
- Did the government fail to fix or properly maintain the road?
- Did an engineering design error contribute to the accident?
Dangerous roadway accident cases are difficult and expensive to build. It is important to work with a law firm that has the financial and legal resources needed to pursue a case against the government. At Baker, Burton & Lundy, our record of success in high-stakes litigation and our resourceful approach to accident claims can give you a significant advantage toward a full financial recovery. We consider additional sources of recovery, such as the transportation agency responsible for poor highway design or negligence in a construction zone.
One of the most effective ways to approach a case like this is to talk directly with people who know the roads and highways of Southern California best, like the police, fire departments, highway departments, and ambulance crews. It is important to get a complete history of the roadway to determine if these conditions have caused or contributed to any accidents in the past. This information can help to maximize the settlement on behalf of clients injured due to dangerous roadways. And the more evidence we can gather, the better we are able to articulate the need to make California roads safer in general.
