The driver of a vehicle is typically found liable for a traffic accident involving a pedestrian. But when a road is so poorly designed, constructed, or maintained that it actually contributes to the accident, the entity or entities responsible for the road may be partially or even fully liable for the accident.
Roads must initially designed with a variety of concerns in mind. Curves must not be too sharp, especially considering the speed-limit; shoulders and/or recovery zones can be especially important on high-speed roads; guardrails are often necessary to protect against oncoming lanes, trees, rock formations, and changes in elevation; and some curves must be properly banked so that drivers may not lose control.
In rare cases in which a traffic accident is directly caused by a road’s negligent design, the public or government entities responsible for designing the road may share partial or full liability for the accident. If you’ve been injured in an accident as a pedestrian, speak with an experienced personal injury attorney as soon as possible to ensure that your rights are protected.
