Road Defects and Hazards

Amber is heaven sent!! Amber and her team worked very hard on my case!! They checked on me while I had my weekly doctor visits. They were very detailed with my settlement. I didn’t have to second guess anything. I would recommend her to anybody who is in a car accident !! I’ve even referred my love ones who also needed her to represent them in an accident. She made my process as painless as possible. I wish I could give her 10 stars!!

Jeannette A., Client

I was referred to Amber by my daughter-in-law. I was involved in two rear end collisions in a three month period. She did an excellent job keeping me informed and explained everything to me, in a manner that I could understand. She followed through with me until I had my settlements.

Road Defects and Hazards Can Cause Serious Accidents. Our Attorneys Can Help You Recover.

At Gilormo Injury Law, our road defect lawyers have significant experience handling road defect and hazard cases in Georgia, and we can use this experience to help you win the compensation you deserve. These claims present unique challenges, and they require experienced legal representation

Most car accidents result from issues with the way people drive. But, some result from issues with the road. When a road defect or hazard causes an accident, recovering financial compensation is usually still an option, but you will not be filing a claim with the auto insurance companies. Instead, you will probably be filing a claim with a government agency, or perhaps against a government contractor. With offices in Atlanta, Alpharetta, and Cumming, we’re here to minimize your stress and help move your claim along.

Road Defects and Hazards That Can Cause Car Accidents in Georgia

All types of road defects and hazards have the potential to cause serious, or even fatal, car accidents. These issues can lead to accidents in several different ways:

Collision Risks

Some road defects and hazards present collision risks for drivers. For example, a construction barrier that has been moved into the middle of the road could leave an unsuspecting driver with nowhere to go.

Visual Obstructions

Some road defects and hazards obstruct drivers’ vision, preventing them from seeing the road ahead and avoiding a crash. For example, overgrown trees or a poorly placed sign or bus stop could be to blame if a driver cannot see what he or she needs to see in order to avoid a collision.

Vehicle Damage

Some road defects and hazards can damage drivers’ vehicles, and this damage can cause drivers to lose control. For example, if a pothole damages a vehicle’s wheel or axle, then the pothole could be to blame in the event of a subsequent crash.

Loss of Control

Some road defects and hazards can be directly responsible for drivers’ loss of control. For example, debris on the road could cause a loss of traction, and this could in turn lead to sliding off of the road or colliding with another vehicle.

Driver Confusion

Malfunctioning traffic lights, unclear signs and similar types of issues can lead to driver confusion. If drivers aren’t sure where to go or who has the right of way, this is highly likely to lead to a crash.

Road Hazards That Most Often Lead to Accident Lawsuits

Our road defect attorneys handle cases involving all types of road defects and hazards in Georgia. If you have been injured, or if a loved one has been killed, in a car accident and you suspect that a road defect or hazard may have played a role, we strongly encourage you to contact us for help.
