Charlotte Car Accidents Caused By Road Quality

conditions. At Price, Petho Associates, they

Poor Road Quality Can Be Detrimental

Poorly maintained or designed roadways can have
devastating effects on those on drivers. When
they turn to the North Carolina Department of
Transportation, they can see that there were more
than 281,000 total crashes across the state
during the latest reporting year. Out of these
incidents, there were 1,324 total fatalities and
over 80,000 injuries. However, the state of North
Carolina is not very forthcoming when it comes to
discussing how many accidents were caused by poor
roadway conditions. That is understandable
because the state and local government
authorities are typically responsible for
inspecting and maintaining the roadways. Poor
roadway conditions can lead to more than simply a
bumpy ride from drivers and passengers. Roads can
deteriorate to the level where they become
dangerous for others.

A crash caused by poor roadway conditions may
only affect one vehicle, but these accidents are
just as likely to involve multiple vehicles. If
one vehicle crashes due to poor road quality, it
could slam into another vehicle. Similarly, if a
driver swerves to avoid poor conditions on the
roadway, they could also slam into other vehicles
around them. If an injury lawsuit related to poor
roadway conditions needs to be filed against the
state of North Carolina or other municipal
agencies, it will be necessary to file the claim
under the North Carolina Tort Claims Act (NCTCA).
