Lexington Highway Defect Attorneys
Between dealing with traffic, watching out for other drivers, and navigating complex routes, drivers already have enough to worry about. When highway defects are added to the mix, drivers may become involved in a car accident that could have been avoided if only the municipality responsible for road conditions took care of the hazard more promptly. Unfortunately, countless car accidents have been caused by highway defects, as seemingly minor flaws on the highway can cause catastrophic damages due to the high speeds that are often involved in highway driving. At Wilson & McQueen, PLLC, our Lexington highway defect attorneys help victims of car accidents caused by highway defects find compensation for their resulting injuries and damages.
Common Highway Defects
Highway defects can range in severity, and they can affect drivers in a variety of ways. Whether a driver swerves into your lane in order to avoid driving over a deep pothole, you are forced to brake unexpectedly to avoid running over an object in the road, or otherwise, those external factors should not have been present to cause your wreck. A few common highway defects that often lead to collisions are as follows:
- Shoulder drop-off
- Water pooling
- Potholes
- Uneven pavement
- Lack of signs
- Lack of guardrails
- Objects on roadway
- Construction negligence
- Municipal negligence
