Intersection Accidents Caused by Negligent Design / Defects
Estey & Bomberger auto accident attorneys have handled a number of California intersection accident cases involving negligence on the part of the California Department of Transportation as well as other cities and counties responsible for roadway design and maintenance. Some accidents are attributable to defective roadway design and/or maintenance, including:
- Missing or inadequate warning signs
- Dangerous intersection design
- Defective drainage
- Inadequate roadway surfacing
- Ineffective traffic control devices
- Failure to install median barriers
- Improper curve or embankment
- Improper road striping
- Inadequate sight distance
- Insufficient shoulder area
- Lack of directional controls
- Negligent road maintenance
- Signing obstructions
- Uneven surface-to-shoulder transition
We carefully investigate every accident to determine the cause. Our attorneys frequently consult with road design experts and engineers to determine if an intersection was negligently or improperly designed. In cases caused by negligent design or maintenance, we have not only recovered compensation for our clients’ injuries or loss, but have improved the safety of motorists in city intersections.
Types of Sacramento Intersection Accidents
Intersection accidents may involve one or more cars, pedestrians, motorcyclists or bicyclists. Collisions involving two vehicles may be either front-impact, side-impact, or rear-impact. Drivers running red–lights often cause front-impact collisions. Side impact collisions are often the result of a driver failing to yield, and rear impact collisions occur when a driver does not stop in time. Depending on speed and other factors, intersection accidents may cause vehicle rollovers.
