Water Pooling Accident

Dealing with the conditions of the road and the weather is an unavoidable part of the driving experience. The heavy rains that fall in South Carolina can make the highway incredibly slick, endangering the safety of motorists and their passengers as tire traction fails and brakes are of limited function. When defective or negligent highway construction and/or maintenance results in depressions that gather water into pools of substantial depth, then the situation is incredibly hazardous. These pools of water can cause a driver to lose control of his or her vehicle and become involved in a car accident.

If you have been injured or suffered property loss because of a highway defect, then you may be able to sue the negligent parties responsible for the construction and maintenance of the road.

Injuries Associated with Car Accidents

Despite the advances in automobile safety technology, the grim reality is that car accidents are likely to inflict serious injury upon the occupants of a vehicle. Safety devices such as airbags and seatbelts can help to prevent some harm or to reduce the severity of injuries sustained, but they are not capable of fully eliminating the danger. Injuries associated with car accidents include:

• Traumatic Brain Injuries
• Spinal Cord Injuries
• Fractured Bones
• Severe Lacerations
• Internal Organ Damage
• Serious Contusions

If negligent highway construction and maintenance has forced you to endure any of these damaging injuries, you should not be forced to cover the costs of your accident out of your own pocket. An experienced Charleston highway defects lawyer can help you fight for justice and the financial assistance you deserve.
