Common Types of Dangerous Road Conditions
Road hazards can result from poor maintenance, improper design, or negligence by local authorities or contractors. Common dangerous conditions include:
- Potholes: Large or hidden holes in the roadway causing damage to vehicles and accidents.
- Uneven Pavement: Sudden changes in road surface height leading to loss of control.
- Inadequate Signage: Missing or unclear signs failing to warn drivers of hazards or changes.
- Poor Lighting: Insufficient visibility in high-risk areas, such as intersections or crosswalks.
- Lack of Guardrails: Absence of barriers on sharp turns, bridges, or steep drop-offs.
- Debris on the Roadway: Fallen objects, spilled cargo, or construction materials.
- Improper Road Design: Dangerous curves, narrow lanes, or poorly timed traffic signals.
- Flooding or Erosion: Water accumulation or erosion causing slippery surfaces or collapsed roads.
If a dangerous road condition caused your accident, you may have a claim against the responsible party.
Common Injuries from Dangerous Road Condition Accidents
Accidents caused by unsafe roads can result in serious injuries, such as:
- Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
- Spinal cord injuries and paralysis
- Broken bones and fractures
- Internal injuries and organ damage

Don’t Wait—Act Now
