How were you injured?
MOTOR VEHICLE ACCIDENT
Roadway Defects
If you have been injured due to a defective roadway, highway, street or sidewalk, you may be entitled to make a claim against the state, city or county where the accident occurred. This may also include public buildings and schools.
Negligence is not always easy to prove against a governmental entity, which is why it is important to have an attorney who specializes in this area of law.
There are a wide range of defects that can occur. Sometimes the state, city or county may be in the process of making a repair that is improperly marked or has improper signs or warnings, or there are potholes and/or pavement deviations and various other types of negligent defects.
It is important to note that you have a very short time, after an accident, to put the governmental agency on proper notice. Failure to put the governmental entity on proper notice will bar your ability to make a claim forever. It is particularly important to contact us immediately.
Once proper notice is made, you generally have two years or less to file a lawsuit against the governmental agency or you lose your right to make a claim against it forever. This is a very involved area of the law with many complex aspects and requires and attorney with experience.
Why is it Important to Contact an Attorney?
As you can probably tell, Michigan law gets very complicated very quickly, and every accident involving a roadway defect has its own set of legal issues that must be recognized and addressed. That is why it is urgent to find an attorney who specializes in roadway defects, because spotting an issue can be the difference between getting a successful recovery or getting nothing at all.
