Florida Defective Road Lawyer
Federal and Florida laws aim to protect motorists from hazards caused by dangerous and defective roads. For this reason, they place certain requirements on construction companies fixing Florida roads. They also require certain warnings, guardrails and gradients — all in the name of safety.
So, when a motor vehicle accident occurs on South Florida roads, the personal injury lawyers at Friedman, Rodman & Frank, P.A., conduct a thorough investigation into road safety. We partner with accident reconstruction and road safety experts who can help us understand how relevant facts and laws may have contributed to your accident.
Often, we find that road hazards are to blame for car accidents and truck accidents. There are many different ways that roads can cause injuries to motorists:
- Defectively designed roads
- Missing or malfunctioning traffic signals
- Missing or malfunctioning road signs
- Gradients (slopes) that are too steep
- Highways that have not been maintained properly
- Improperly placed or marked construction zones
- Construction equipment left in the highway
It takes a long time for highway traffic to come to a complete stop. When construction zones are not properly marked or when dangerous road conditions appear out of nowhere, traffic can rarely stop in time. This can lead to deadly accidents on Florida's roads.
At Friedman, Rodman & Frank, P.A., our lawyers represent people in personal injury lawsuits, helping them receive needed compensation. Many families depend on this assistance to move forward after a dangerous highway causes injury.
If you have been involved in an accident on a dangerous road, filing a lawsuit may help you recover compensation for a wide range of things, including lost wages and the cost of medical care. A personal injury settlement can pay medical bills and physical therapy expenses. It can also cover pain and suffering or the funeral expenses of a loved one.
