Description

Thousands of drivers, cyclists, and pedestrians are killed or sustain life-altering injuries because of roadside hazards and poor roadway design. The most typical are sight obstructions, pavement edge drops, construction and maintenance work zones, faulty guardrails, or fixed objects too close to the road.

Because many states have repealed or scaled back sovereign immunity over the past several decades, roadway defect tort claims against governmental entities have increased. But there are often other potential defendants, including utility companies, business owners who obstruct views, other drivers, and contractors and subcontractors doing roadway construction (or the entity that hired them).

Many times, it is a combination of design and as-built factors that create a dangerous road condition. What may have been a reasonable design 50 years ago may have become dangerous as conditions changed.

Listen as this experienced panel reviews how to pursue or defend dangerous and hazardous roadway cases.
