Wausau Municipal Negligence Attorneys
When citizens pay taxes to the government, some portion of these payments is designated to fund local infrastructure, including the roadway system. Municipalities are typically responsible for building, maintaining, and repairing the streets and highways in their jurisdiction. Unfortunately, poor planning, misguided cost-cutting measures, and other failures can cause the roadways to become unnecessarily hazardous. Municipal negligence, though less frequently considered than something like drunk driving, can be a direct contributing factor to a motor vehicle accident.
If you have been injured in a car crash that was caused or worsened by failures of municipal oversight, you may be able to file a civil lawsuit seeking financial compensation for damages.

Examples of Municipal Negligence
A municipality must attend to a variety of responsibilities, and it is easy for road maintenance and construction to be shifted down the priority list in the presence of other challenges. However, that does not excuse a municipality from its obligation to ensure that the road system does not expose motorists to needless danger. Municipal negligence with respect to the road system might entail:
- Dangerous potholes
- Uneven roadways
- Hazardous shoulder drop-offs
- Lack of signs
- Absent or damaged guardrails
