Northern California Defective Road Design Attorneys
Northern California Defective Road Design
The design and construction of a road is vital to the safety of northern California motorists. A safely designed road is defined as one that allows motorists sufficient time to see, process and react to other vehicles, pedestrians and bicyclists on the road. State and federal government agencies design and maintain the million of miles of road in California. Government agencies have a responsibility to inform motorists of any unusual road conditions, provide signs and directions for road users and provide a controlled road or highway. When a motorist is harmed or killed in an accident caused by a defective road design, a government agency may be held financially liable.
