Arizona Hazardous Roadway Attorneys
Attorney Representation in Phoenix, Arizona Since 1996
Motorcycle accidents can happen at any time, for any number of reasons. Many of these are the fault of other drivers, especially in cases where negligence or inattention led them to jump a lane or cut you off. Other accidents can happen as a result of defective products, including brakes that fail and tires that give way at a catastrophic moment. But a sizable percentage of motorcycle crashes occur through no fault of anyone on the road at that time; instead, they may be attributed to the road itself. If obstacles, poor design, or unacceptable maintenance standards have led you into an Arizona motorcycle accident, you may be able to win a lawsuit on the grounds of a dangerous highway.
Hazardous roadways come in several forms, and any may be deadly under the right circumstances. Some of the most common culprits in a crash are poor design and planning. If the road is improperly banked around a turn, for instance, and there is no warning given of that danger, you may have cause to sue the government over this dangerous condition. Similarly, if a dangerous turn or stretch of highway is not adequately lit, that poor visibility could lead to an accident. Again, you have a case.
Hazardous roadways in Phoenix AZ may also occur because of time-sensitive conditions, including inclement weather, forgotten obstacles, and broken traffic signals. It isn't hard to imagine how any of these issues could precipitate a wreck: bad weather may leave a surface dangerously slick without proper warnings and safeguards in place. Forgotten obstacles, such as cones and machinery left behind from a construction site, can also send a motorcycle rider into a deadly skid in an instant. And broken traffic signals may decrease or eliminate any lead time you have to respond to oncoming or merging traffic, including commercial vehicles and public transit.
The point is simple: just because no other driver was involved doesn't mean you cannot sue for damages over your injuries. Motorcycle collisions can lead to major injures such as traumatic brain injury and spinal cord injury, so it is essential that you hold the proper parties accountable for your losses and expenses.
