Potholes | Loose Gravel | Excessive Water or Ice | Broken or Missing Signs or Signals | Negligent Road Construction or Design

It’s a fairly frequent cause of motor vehicle accidents—there’s a pothole, loose gravel or dirt on the road, or the lanes are uneven. Either you or another motorist encounters the roadway defect, loses control of the vehicle and crashes. It all could have been avoided with proper monitoring and maintenance of the road.

When you have been hurt in a motor vehicle accident, you have a right to pursue compensation for your losses. But that can be more difficult when the defendant is a municipality or governmental entity. In such circumstances, you want an experienced lawyer to protect your rights, someone who has effectively secured damages in these types of cases. You want Weber & Nierenberg.
