Typically, car crashes and vehicle accidents are the fault of drivers. But sometimes, the fault is on the roads themselves. Poorly-designed highways or roads in Bothell can lead to accidents and serious injuries. Hiring a Bothell attorney can help you fight to get the compensation you deserve.
Your Bothell Highway Design Defect Attorney
Dax Jones, an experienced Bothell highway design defect attorney, recognizes the difficulties of proving that a road design defect was the cause of a crash and that the government was negligent in not correcting the issue before the wreck occurred. He has many years of experience in helping clients receive compensation in these tricky situations.
One way to prove that a road design defect is at fault is by showing that there is a trend of accidents happening repeatedly in that same Bothell location. If this has occurred and a government agency has ignored the pattern, they can be held liable for their inaction.
Road defects can include:
- Pooling water from improper drainage
- Uneven pavement, including potholes
- Poor or improper signage or stoplights
- Missing guardrails or other safety devices
- Failure to clear, or warn drivers of, a road hazard
