Auto Accident Attorneys

Serving Hartford, Waterbury, New Haven and Surrounding Areas

If you've driven over a rut or hole in the road, you know exactly what a defective road is. Maintenance and control of any given roadway may be the responsibility of the state or the local municipality. They have a legal responsibility to maintain the road and avoid dangerous and defective conditions.

Examples of a defective road include:

• Potholes
• Wheel Ruts
• Poorly marked intersections
• Median barriers inadequate for their location (i.e., short barriers dividing a highway)
• Shoulder drop-offs
• Inadequate roadway drainage

Construction zones on or alongside a roadway can also cause damage. If these work zones are improperly designated, injuries can be sustained by the construction workers, as well as passing traffic.

This does not mean that the driver bears no responsibility. A driver must be attentive and should not exceed speeds appropriate for the type of traffic they are in.

However, if you have been involved in a roadway accident or your vehicle has sustained damage due to a defective road, please e-mail or call us today to speak with an experienced Connecticut car accident attorney.
