Charleston Uneven Pavement Lawyers

Though the public is largely aware of many dangers that accompany highway travel, such as intoxicated driving, speeding, and distracted driving, there is one key component of highway safety that is often overlooked: the condition of the roads.

There is a misguided expectation and assumption that because the streets and highways of a particular locale are under the care of a government agency, they will therefore be perpetually suitable for public use. But negligent construction and improper maintenance of a roadway can render it decidedly unsafe and may make a stretch of road likely to be the direct cause of an accident.

Uneven pavement may occur due to the climate, primarily as heating, cooling, and accumulating moisture stretch and stress the road. It also may be the product of roadwork that is not yet completed or which has not been properly performed.

Car Accident Injuries

When a vehicle’s tires drop from one elevation to another, the sudden jarring can damage the car and its occupants. Moreover, it can cause a driver to lose control of his or her vehicle or to overcorrect in a moment of panic. It is important that uneven pavement be eliminated from a roadway or properly marked because the resulting car accident injuries may include:

• Traumatic Brain Injuries
• Spinal Cord Injuries
• Dental Damage
• Bone Fractures
• Severe Contusions and Lacerations
