MUNICIPAL NEGLIGENCE

Local governments have a responsibility to cover many basic transportation projects in their jurisdiction that need to be completed. They operate using taxpayer dollars and provide a service that is intended to benefit all residents and businesses. However, the failure to keep up with day-to-day maintenance can eventually leave roads in severe disarray. Also, neglecting to adequately plan a project from the outset can create similar dangers. In this state of disrepair, it is possible for small problems to become significant hazards that may lead to serious accidents.

If you have been hurt in a car accident that was caused by the negligence of a municipal agency assigned the task of maintaining local roadways, it is important that you know your legal rights. You may be entitled to financial compensation for damages resulting from such a crash. Contact the St. Louis municipal negligence attorneys of the Finney Law Office by calling 314-646-0300 today to discuss your case with a skilled and experienced legal professional.

Problems with Municipal Negligence

Municipalities are typically responsible for the maintenance of roadways in their jurisdiction because they stand to gain directly from the traffic which they facilitate. If a municipality fails to provide these basic services, motorists driving in the area can become injured because of road defects which are left unrepaired. The following issues may arise because of these local governments’ mistakes:

  • Lack of basic maintenance work
  • Failure to clean up a road after an accident
  • Lack of proper signs or road paint
  • Failure to eliminate ice and snow in a timely manner

These issues can cause serious collisions or accidents that may lead to severe injuries for affected motorists.
