New York City Road Defect Attorneys
Every city suffers from road defects: potholes and other road surface damage, cracked sidewalks, and more can cause damage to vehicles or even serious injuries. But New York isn’t most cities: ignoring the millions of commuters and tourists, the boroughs alone have over eight million residents. Sometimes it seems like there are just as many potholes.
If you have been injured because of damage to a roadway or sidewalk, you may be entitled to compensation for your injuries. For more information, call New York City road defect injury lawyers Parker Waichman Alonso, LLC at 1-888-244-2273.
Cases We Handle
Defects in roads and highways can range from minor nuisances to significant dangers. Our New York City roadway defect lawyers work for our clients’ rights in a variety of cases, including:
- Shoulder Drop-Off
- Potholes
- Uneven Pavement
- Lack of Signs
- Lack of Guardrails
- Construction Site Negligence
- Municipal Negligence
While defects regularly cause mechanical damage to a car’s suspension, exhaust, and more, they can also lead to serious physical harm to people. They can force drivers to lose control of their cars, leading to traffic collisions. The sudden shock of hitting a large pothole can cause whiplash and other injuries in occupants, especially children and the elderly.
But the risks aren’t limited to motorists. Fewer people own cars in New York than in any other city in North America, and our streets endure far more foot traffic. Combined with the constant construction, this can create a number of hazards for pedestrians. Falling on the sidewalk is enough to cause injuries, but the constant construction and heavy traffic can make the prospect even more dangerous.
