Leading California Defective / Dangerous Road Accidents Lawyers

Highway accidents that occur as a result of dangerous or defective roads, streets, or intersections fall under the category of government tort cases, and require skilled and experienced legal representation in order to recover damages.

Public entity cases involving defective road accidents proceed under their own set of laws. An abbreviated, six-month statute of limitations requires prompt legal action. Already complex cases are further encumbered, from the plaintiff’s point of view, by various immunities from liability that public entities enjoy. Successful verdicts require extensive experience with dangerous and defective road cases, and the ability to move quickly against the statute of limitations and effectively navigate the government’s immunities.

roadsAt Abramson Smith Waldsmith, LLP, our defective road accident lawyers have the experience and the resources to litigate effectively against government entities, including the city, county, and state, and to establish a winning record on behalf of our clients. We regularly represent plaintiffs in car accidents, bus accidents, and truck accidents that occur because of poor road design affecting the flow of traffic on streets and highways and through intersections.

Other road and highway defects such as the lack of a median or bad road markings, inadequate signage and malfunctioning stop lights, improper road construction warnings and procedures, and unsafe sidewalks and crosswalks are additional examples of governmental negligence leading to catastrophic injuries including serious broken bones and orthopedic injuries, crushed limbs and traumatic amputations, severe burns, spinal cord injuries, brain injuries, paralysis, loss of cognitive functioning, and wrongful death.

Our dangerous road accident law firm has the experience and the resources to litigate effectively against government entities. We seek full and fair compensation for all damages and losses, including immediate and long-term medical care, short and long term disability coverage, physical therapy and rehabilitation, lost wages, lost earning potential, pain and suffering, loss of a family member through wrongful death, and funeral expenses.

Throughout our personal injury practice, our attorneys prepare each case thoroughly and systematically for presentation to a jury. We use computer technology to efficiently communicate extensive evidence and to clarify complex issues. We choose our cases carefully, and we devote the full measure of our personal attention, our time, our financial resources, and our access to forensic, highway engineering, and highway accident reconstruction experts to each one. With over 100 years of combined experience, our dangerous road accident attorneys have earned a national reputation for excellent trial work.

If you or a loved one has suffered a catastrophic injury or wrongful death related to a dangerous or defective road accident, you may have legal recourse. We encourage you to contact our San Francisco law offices for knowledgeable and experienced legal counsel.
