Defective Road Design
If you or a loved one has been hurt due to defective road design, you may find that trying to extract compensation from the liable entity – be it a municipality or the federal government – can be perplexing and frustrating. Governments have vast resources at their disposal to tie-up claims. If you are recovering from the shock and trauma of an accident, you may not have the patience or wherewithal to navigate bureaucratic hoops. But before we discuss solutions, let's talk about some of the common road maintenance problems that lead to Phoenix injury accidents:
1. Dangerous intersections
According to widely cited figures, around 33% of all accidents occur at intersections. While many crashes can be attributed to driver error and other human factors, a significant percentage can be blamed on bad signage and terrible traffic design. Poor lines of sight, poor visibility, badly timed traffic signals, and confusing signage can all set the table for intersection accidents.
2. Construction hazards
Roadways across Arizona require regular maintenance. If you are caught in a traffic snarl near a construction zone, this can be an inconvenience, but it is an inconvenience that you can understand. However, if the road construction is not properly organized and engineered, drivers can be put at heightened risk for accidents and injuries. The metal plates used to cover up open gaps can lead to skid outs – particularly in wet weather, for instance. Open gas lines and sewer lines can spell danger for drivers, particularly drivers of bicycles, motorcycles and mopeds. Poor signage, poor traffic direction, and debris on road can also cause accidents.
3. Poor general road maintenance
If you drive in the midst of a hurricane, and a tree branch falls in the road in front of you, and you hit that tree branch and get hurt, it may be difficult to blame a road maintenance crew (unless, of course, the crew should have known to cut down said branch to prevent accidents).
On the other hand, if that same branch is lying on the road a week later – after local crews had plenty of time to remove it – and you hit it and get into a traffic accident, you have much stronger grounds for a defective road maintenance case.
