When an Accident is Caused by a Dangerous Road
Not all automobile accidents are caused by negligent drivers. Some are caused by the roads themselves. In fact, defective or dangerously designed roads are responsible for many accidents in Lafayette and the surrounding parts of Louisiana.
At the law firm of Goforth & Lilley, our attorneys understand how to handle these unique accident cases. With more than 25 years of experience on our side, we understand how to take on the opponents involved in these cases, opponents that include government agencies, such as the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development.
If you or a loved one has been involved in an accident that you suspect was caused by a dangerous road, you can be confident that we are the law firm that can help you.
Proving That a Road is Dangerous
Highway hazards come in many forms. Perhaps a construction project was set up inappropriately. Perhaps the shoulder of the road was designed improperly. One of the most common problems is a lack of visible signs that warn of potentially dangerous road conditions.
These cases are made more challenging when multiple factors are involved in the accident. Sometimes, a negligent driver initiated the collision, but a problem with the roadway made the situation worse.
Our experience means that we are able to sort through all of these challenges to build a strong case, a case designed to get you fair compensation. Frequently, we bring in road design experts and other experts to help us gather the facts that form the foundation of our case. We do what is necessary to get results.
You Pay Nothing Unless We Get Results
Car and motor vehicle accidents are normally handled on a contingency basis. This means that you are not expected to pay any legal fees or expenses until you get compensation.
