Dangerous Shoulder Drop-Offs
The shoulder of a road or highway is there for the safety of all drivers. In the event of a tire blowout or other situation that requires a car to make an emergency stop, the shoulder is generally a safe place for drivers to pull over. But if a roadway shoulder is not properly maintained or constructed, it can pose a serious danger to drivers. Shoulder drop-offs can contribute to costly car damage as well as dangerous auto accidents.
If your personal injury or vehicle damage was caused by a dangerous shoulder drop-off, it is important to seek fair compensation for your losses. States, cities, and municipalities must be held responsible for properly maintaining their roads so that they are safe for every driver.
