North Carolina Highway Accident Lawyers
Was Your Accident Caused by Negligent Road Design or Maintenance?
Not every auto accident is caused by a negligent driver. Some accidents occur because highways have not been properly designed to handle drivers who are being attentive and following traffic laws. Sometimes, roads even contain hidden dangers that drivers have no way of anticipating.
At the Charlotte law firm of Grandy & Martin, we represent people who have been seriously injured and the families of those who have been killed due to unsafe road conditions.

Identifying How Dangerous Road Conditions Contribute to Serious Injuries
Design and engineering firms, maintenance agencies and — in some cases — property owners have certain legal responsibilities when it comes to the safety of people who drive on their roadways. Dangerous road conditions that can cause serious accidents include:
- Intersections that are unsafe due to trees or shrubs restricting visibility
- Highways that are not suitably engineered for high-speed or high-volume traffic
- Islands that create hazards through negligent design
- Potholes that have been identified but not properly marked off
In many cases, the accidents caused by dangerous road conditions can cause catastrophic injuries and even fatalities. Pursuing a lawsuit against a state or local government agency can be particularly challenging, so it is important to get an experienced lawyer on your side.
It is not always easy to tell whether dangerous road conditions or an unsafe highway design was a factor in an accident. Our attorneys have the experience to analyze your situation and explore all of your options for pursuing compensation. Contact us today to discuss your case.
