In the United States, tens and thousands of accidents happen on the road for a number of reasons. Some are caused by distracted drivers, others by DUI drivers, and other factors like road and weather conditions among others. Over the years, driver error has been the main reason as to why road accidents happen in the US. This however does not change the fact that the condition of the road is also one big contributor as to why such accidents happen.
The roads in California and everywhere else in the United States are mostly in good condition. Because of the state and federal governments’ agencies, main thoroughfares across the country are kept in the best possible condition. On the other hand, there are also some roads that get damaged. While some are poorly maintained, there are others that just get broken due to a lot of reasons.
Last week, the management of the Golden State (5) Freeway closed sections of the road for emergency repair jobs on the thoroughfare. This is after motorists have called the agency, asking for a quick solution to repair the potholes immediately. According to reports, around 13 drivers got some of their cars’ tires burst after they passed by the 5 South at Indiana Street in East Los Angeles area where the potholes are. Some situations turned out so bad that the vehicles of those who got their tires blown had to be towed off the freeway.
Drivers of the said vehicles have also shown fears that their vehicles’ underpinnings might have been damaged due to the potholes but were also thankful that none of them got hurt in the accident. Things like these may get you completely surprised. At times you will be able to steer your vehicle away from these nuisances. However there are times that you will not have enough time to react in time, leaving you with no choice but to run over potholes like these.
When these things cause huge repair bills for your car or hospital bills for those injured, a
personal injury lawyer in Los Angeles believes that one can sue the freeway management for failure to put up the appropriate warning signs or promptly repairing that portion of the freeway that nearly caused an accident for the 13 vehicles that got flat tires due to the pothole. If you believe that any incident close to this has been caused by one person’s or agency’s negligence, you can file a personal injury claim against them. This could help you seek damages to pay for your treatment, cover the earnings that you might have missed because of your temporary disability, among others.
