Dangerous Road Defect Injuries
According to statistics released by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, there were more than 2,100 accidents involving multiple or single car crashes on Florida roads in 2006. Many of these accidents resulted in injuries and fatalities that could have been prevented by proper maintenance and safer road designs. Dangerous roads are one of the leading causes of so much tragedy on our roads and highways. Road and traffic engineers have a duty to design a roadway to handle the faster speeds and heavier congestion of our modern world. If they fail in this duty, they face liability to those that are injured because of the defective design. There simply is no excuse for new road designs that include blind intersections, dangerous merge lanes and tight curves that drivers can't hold at traffic speeds.
