My bike accident was caused by a problem with the road. Do I have a case?

Answer:

Yes, it is possible that your accident was caused by poor road design, dangerous road conditions, or an improperly maintained property. Whether or not you have a valid personal injury claim after a bicycle or motorcycle accident depends on a number of factors related to your specific incident.
Here are just a few important questions you should ask if you believe your accident was caused by a problem with the road:

  • Should my bike/motorcycle accident have been prevented by the entity that maintains the road?
  • Did the entity that maintains the road know about the issue that caused your crash?
  • Did other accidents take place in the past in the same area and for the same reason?
  • Was the road hazard an obvious danger?
  • Could it be argued that you should you have seen the danger and avoided it on your own?
  • Do you fear that other riders will suffer accidents and injuries in the same place in the future?

Cities, towns, and counties have a responsibility to keep their roadways reasonably safe and free from hazards. In addition, private property owners have a similar responsibility.
