Michigan Defective Road Lawyers

Our Michigan personal injury lawyers handle cases for clients injured due to a defective highway, roadway, street, or sidewalk. These cases are filed against the State of Michigan and the city or county where the accident occurred. It is essential that the governmental agency responsible for maintaining the location of the injury be properly identified in order to pursue a case.

Types of Roadway Defects

Many roadway defects are due to poor maintenance or the failure to repair a defective condition. There is a wide range of roadway defects, including:

• Improper design
• Potholes and roadway defects
• Trees and debris on the roadway
• Highway shoulder drop-offs
• Failure to post warning signals and signs
• Inadequate or malfunctioning warning signals and signs

Injuries From Sidewalk and Highway Defects

The injuries suffered from a defective sidewalk or highways are often severe. They include:

• Wrongful death
• Closed head/ traumatic brain injures
• Fractures
• Back injuries
• Neck injuries
• Shoulder injuries
• Scarring
• Other traumatic injuries

Bicyclists and motorcyclists often suffer the most severe injuries in these accidents. This is especially true for potholes in the roadways and defective highway shoulders, including dangerous shoulder drop offs.

Take Photos Of Defective Conditions

It is essential that pictures and video, if possible, be taken of dangerous and defective conditions on highways and sidewalks. This is the best way to prove that the condition was hazardous in your case. If the area is repaired before pictures are taken, it can be difficult to prove how dangerous the condition was on the day you were injured.

Notice Requirements in Highway Defect Cases

In Michigan, a person injured due to a defective roadway has a limited period to notify the negligent government agency of the defect. These deadlines range from 60 to 120 days after the accident, depending on the agency and defect alleged. The failure to provide that notice may cause dismissal of your case. Therefore, a person injured because of a defective roadway should call a law firm experienced with sidewalk and highway defect injuries.
