Harrisburg Bad Road Conditions Lawyer
As a result of their two-wheeled balancing act, motorcycles are far more susceptible to accidents caused by poor road conditions than are their four-wheeled counterparts. The interruption of one tire’s rotation can easily cause a rider to lose control of the bike, skidding dangerously off the road or into the path of other traffic. Municipalities and other governmental agencies or contractors are responsible for keeping the roadways in a safely operable condition, and when they fail to do so, you may be entitled to file suit.
If an inadequately maintained road surface contributed to your motorcycle accident, contact the Harrisburg bad road conditions lawyers of Lowenthal & Abrams, P.C., at 610-667-7511.
What are Bad Road Conditions?
The entities charged with the upkeep of the street and highway system do not have an easy task, but that does not excuse them when they fail to protect motorcyclists by properly monitoring and repairing compromised roads. The problem is greatly magnified when bad weather strikes, because it exposes many of the resulting issues in greater detail. Some examples of what constitutes bad road conditions are:
- Potholes (which are problematic in their own right, but are even more so in poor weather)
- Uneven pavement
- Cracks in the road surface
- Inadequately signed turns or other road features
