When does an accident become a highway design claim?
Some factors which should trigger a client or an attorney to evaluate a highway design claim are:
- Did the accident occur near a construction zone?
- Did a vehicle travel off the roadway?
- Did a vehicle cross the center median?
- Did the driver complain of an unknown loss of control of vehicle?
- Did the accident occur at an intersection with three (3) or more lanes of traffic for any one direction?
- Was the intersection controlled by a Protective-Permissive, Left Turn signal?
- Did the accident occur in a marked crosswalk?
- Did the vehicle go through a guardrail or became impaled by the guardrail?
- Did the vehicle go over a steep slope where there was no guardrail?
If the evidence of the hazardous road condition is lost, it becomes much more difficult to prove in court.
