San Diego Dangerous Road Accident Attorney

Road design is an important component in ensuring the safety of our roadways and highways. Poorly designed or built roads can lead to drainage problems, obscured views, and nighttime driving hazards that lead to serious motor vehicle accidents. Testa & Associates represents clients injured in auto accidents caused by dangerous road conditions. Our attorneys consult surveyors, civil engineers, hydroplane experts, and other professionals in identifying negligence on the part of municipalities and Caltrans that lead to motor vehicle accidents, injury, and death. Since these kinds of cases require a great deal of work and financing up front, our office is very selective in determining the cases we will represent. Due to the costs involved, our firm focuses exclusively on cases involving catastrophic injuries and wrongful death.

If dangerous or defective road conditions played a role in causing your accident, contact San Diego Dangerous Road Accident Lawyer at Testa & Associates today. We provide free consultations and are prepared to travel to inspect the road conditions involved in your accident.

Dangerous Road Conditions and Defective Road Construction

The San Diego Dangerous Road Accident Lawyers at Testa & Associates represents clients injured in auto accidents due to the following:

  • Improper drainage due to poor design or poor maintenance
  • Improperly graded turns
  • Foliage obscuring traffic signs
  • Potholes
  • Lack of guardrails
  • Uneven pavement
  • Fading stripes and paint on road or highway
  • Lack of sign warning of sharp turn, steep grade
  • Uneven shoulder
  • Improperly marked road construction sites
  • Crumbling bridges / roadways

The Importance of Preserving Evidence

It's important to act immediately after an accident involving dangerous road conditions. Especially in cases involving obscured traffic signs, potholes, or improper drainage, road crews may trim back trees, lay asphalt, or unplug sewers shortly after a wreck. If you take a picture of what caused your accident or ask the police to file a report, dangerous road conditions can be documented for proof later at trial. Remember, Caltrans and municipalities will likely argue driver error caused your accident - that's why it's important to document dangerous road conditions as soon as possible after an accident.

Not Sure if You have a Case? Contact Testa & Associates

Too often, motorists assume they're at fault when accidents happen as a result of hydroplaning, running onto the shoulder, or losing control while going around a bend. However, road design, improper maintenance, and poor construction can all play a role. If you're not sure whether you have a case, contact personal injury attorneys at Testa & Associates today to schedule a free consultation.
