Road Defects and Personal Injury Claims

The conditions of streets, roads, and highways are vital to the safety of persons traveling on them, especially if the vehicles are traveling at high speeds. Road defects can cause serious accidents that may result in severe injuries, disability, and even death. It is usually the responsibility of city and state agencies to ensure that roads are properly maintained and are free from hazardous debris and defects.

If you or someone you love has been seriously injured in an accident caused by road defects, you may be eligible for compensation for your medical expenses, mental and emotional trauma, and other damages. For assistance with your personal injury claim, contact the New Jersey personal injury attorneys of Levinson Axelrod, P.A., at 800-346-5529.

  • Uneven pavement

If you have been injured in an accident caused by a road defect, it is important to have an experienced personal injury attorney on your side. An attorney can help explain the legal process and discuss the specifics of your claim.
