Roadway defects in the Pembroke Pines area cause auto accidentsroadway defects

While Florida roads have improved in the past decade, design and construction flaws and road maintenance issues still may contribute to car crashes. Allegations that roadway issues caused or contributed to your wreck can be difficult to prove due to the technical issues involved. Examples of flaws in streets and highways include:

  • Where the road or highway curves, the outer edge of the curve is usually elevated to reduce the risk of a vehicle veering off the curve. If the banking is too high or remains too low, it can contribute to your accident.
  • Speed breakers can be improperly constructed and cause your car to crash.
  • Curbs can have a flawed design or be placed in inappropriate locations that can be a factor in your car accident.
  • Medians and guardrails can add to the severity of your wreck.
  • Traffic lights and signs may be the reason your car accident occurred if they do not function properly or are not accurately located to provide sufficient warning to drivers.

As Pembroke Pines motor vehicle accident lawyers, we thoroughly investigate all of the potential causes of your accident-related injury, including roadway flaws, distracted drivers, and airbag and seat belt failure.
