There are several potential causes of car accidents in San Diego and a poorly maintained and unkempt road is one of them. If an accident is caused by an external factor such as poorly maintained roads, then parties responsible for the maintenance of these public roads can and should be held liable for the accident and damages done.
Poor road conditions exist due to several significant reasons, such as lack of maintenance, weather conditions, and normal wear and tear. Poorly built roads can lead to nighttime driving hazards, obscured views, and other hazards that contribute to fatal auto accidents. It becomes the responsibility of the road maintenance agencies to ensure that the roads are safe to commute and won’t overly disrupt the normal traffic flow in any way.
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHSTA), there were more than 3,000 auto accidents in the year 2009.
It is important for the deceased victim’s family members to act quickly and seek counsel of an experienced car accident attorney who will fight on their behalf. Possible design defects or road defects (potholes, damaged road surfaces, etc.) may point blame to the road construction company, the municipal government, and/or other parties accountable.
