Car Accidents Caused by Dangerous Conditions
You can't sue Mother Nature for the weather, but you may have legitimate claims if a man-made hazard blocked your view or made you lose control. Our experienced lawyers can determine if you have a lawsuit for injuries resulting from:
- Placement of road signs in a way that limited sight
- Overgrown foliage or bushes blocking a safe view
- Blinding glare off a building
- Unlit traffic islands
- Falling debris from commercial trucks
- Potholes or uncovered drains
- Speed bumps without adequate warning
- Utility poles too close to the road
- Negligent placement of construction cones or barriers
- Confusing detour signs or abrupt turns
- Construction equipment left in the roadway
- Design defects of a road or highway
Whether your accident happened downtown in broad daylight or on a rural road in the dark, you should not have to bear the losses if other parties were negligent. We will pursue any viable claims against the parish, the state, a construction contractor or a private business. For example, one client was injured because she had to edge into the intersection to see around a big sign. We successfully sued the gas station that had placed its sign too close to the road, and recovered for our client an outstanding settlement.
