Dangerous Roadway Injuries
Walnut Creek Law Firm Serving Oakland, San Francisco and the Bay Area
The attorneys at The Law Offices of Hinton Alfert Sumner & Kaufmann help clients who were severely injured as a result of roadway conditions that caused accidents and injuries. In most instances the defendant in these cases is the state of California, although we have also successfully pursued cases against municipalities, counties and individual property owners.
Examples of Our Cases
Our lawyers build their cases upon a strong foundation of experience in personal injury. In addition, our firm has significant resources that we use to construct compelling arguments when clients have been injured in motor vehicle accidents because of conditions such as:
- Signs obscured by vegetation and other sight-distance problems
- Shoulders not maintained
- Guard rails damaged or missing
- Median barriers damaged or missing
- Incorrect ditching or drainage that causes water to pool on the roadway
- Obstacles close to the roadway
- Gravel on the roadway
- Missing or burned-out street lights
- Pot hole in the roadway
- Failure to warn of road hazards
- Unreasonable delay in repairing unsafe roadway conditions
Injuries in these matters are usually catastrophic, leading to a lengthy recovery, long-term disability or death. We have helped clients who suffered head injuries, spinal cord injuries, amputations, burns and other significant consequences of a car or truck accident.
Experts Help Identify Costs
Our law firm consults with experts in areas such as roadway design and maintenance. We also work with specialists, such as life care planners, rehabilitation experts and vocational counselors in cases of catastrophic injury and disability. This allows us to develop realistic proposals for full compensation, seeking payment for past and future wage loss, medical expenses, pain and suffering and other costs of a significant injury.
