Defective Highway Construction

Representing the injured, the wronged and their families

Roads, highways and buildings in the United States are designed by professional engineers, architects and developers with safety in mind. However, an oversight in the design or construction phases, or deviation from the standards might allow a dangerous defect to be built into a structure. This defect may lead to an accident and resulting serious injuries, which you may need compensation for.

Highway design and construction is a highly complicated issue, as some governmental organizations and agencies responsible for highway construction are immune from liability. This is compounded by the fact that a successful defective highway design case must prove that there was a defect which was known about but went uncorrected. Other possible cases involve unsafe construction zones on highways which failed to provide adequate warnings or dangerous road conditions.

If that defect is known or should have been known to the builder or designer and no corrections or repairs are made, you might be able to recover compensation as well as punitive damages.

The business of constructing highways and buildings is governed by various safety codes created to protect the workers and the public while the work is ongoing. Negligence and failure to follow the codes on the construction site can result in lifestyle altering injury and death.
