Homestead Road Hazards

Roads are designed carefully by engineers and are maintained by municipalities in order to remain safe for all motorcyclists, bicyclists, pedestrians, and drivers on the road. Millions of people across Florida and across the United States rely on road safety in order to get safely to their destinations, homes, and workplaces. Unfortunately, not all municipalities and companies contracted by cities do a good job in preventing road hazards.

If you have been in a car accident caused by unsafe road conditions, you may have a legal claim against the city and against other liable parties. Pursuing a claim can not only help make important safety changes that prevent others from being hurt, but it can help you seek compensation for your lost wages, pain and suffering, medical bills, and other expenses. Flaxman Law Group attorneys have been helping personal injury plaintiffs and car accident survivors for more than sixty decades secure compensation for their injuries.

There are many types of road hazards that can lead to a car accident in your community:

• Poor signs or missing road signs or traffic lights
• Bad road design
• Potholes
• Poor visibility caused by overgrown trees, grasses, and other plants
• Poor visibility caused by buildings, temporary obstructions, and poor design
• Road work
• Incorrect detours or lack of safe temporary passage in the event of construction
• Debris that has fallen from trucks
• Poor road maintenance
• Debris left behind by road work or construction

It can be difficult to tell what has caused your car accident in Homestead or another community. If you've been in a car accident and suspect that it may have been caused by poor road conditions, you may have a legal claim under Florida law. You may be able to pursue the liable parties in order to seek compensation for your injuries.

These types of cases can be complex, which means that you need representation from a qualified personal injury attorney in Homestead or your community. In many cases, municipalities and cities are protected by powerful attorneys. It often requires a very solid case in order to prove your injuries and to prove negligence in order to secure compensation.

These types of cases can also be complex because there may be multiple liable parties. Cities and municipalities may have contracted road work or road maintenance to other companies, and in the event of an accident the municipalities may blame the contracted companies while the contracted companies may blame specific workers, outsourced companies, or the city. The finger pointing can make it complex to figure out what exactly happened that lead to your accident.
