Uneven Pavement
Road defects left untreated by transportation authorities can pose a serious threat to the safety of drivers and passengers. Of these defects, uneven pavements develop with some frequency due largely to natural circumstances. If they are not corrected, these natural occurrences can cause drivers to experience reduced control over their vehicles. This loss of control can lead to single-vehicle and multiple-vehicle incidents.
If you have been injured because of a road defect such as uneven pavement, you may be eligible to take up a course of legal action. Contact the Wausau road defect lawyers of Habush, Habush & Rottier, S.C. today at 800-242-2874.
Causes of Uneven Pavements
Understanding what causes uneven pavements can help you better prepare for the unexpected. These defects develop under the following conditions:
- Unfinished road work
- Precipitation, especially ice
- Climate extremes between hot and cold temperatures
- Road wear
Much of America’s population lives in a climate with significantly cold temperatures in the winter and hot temperatures in the summer, meaning that the development of road defects can be accelerated. More defects can be expected to surface after more punishing years, in terms of weather.
When a defect on a highway has not been adequately tended to by a transportation authority, such as a municipal or state government, drivers can be the ones left suffering the consequences. Considering that taxpayer and tollway dollars are meant to be used in repair and construction work, negligence is made all the more inexcusable.
