Defective Roadways

Helping the Victims of Defective Roadway Design

New York City Truck Crash Lawyers

If you suffered injuries in a truck accident cause at least in part by a defective roadway or a dangerous highway? If you were, you may be entitled to compensation for your medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering.

At the law firm of Tolmage, Peskin, Harris & Falick, we have more than 40 years of experience handling personal injury litigation. This focus has allowed us to gain extensive knowledge and experience in this legal area. We will aggressively pursue the compensation you deserve.

Cases involving defective roadways and highways may be subject to an abbreviated statute of limitations, 90 days from the date of the accident as they involve suits against municipalities or government entities. Don't delay call 212.964.1390 in New York City or toll free 877.298.3201. We offer free initial consultions. We answer emails, too.

Why Did Your Accident Happen?

As local and state governments fall behind financially, more and more roads are being neglected and improperly maintained. Our attorneys handle a wide variety of accident claims caused by defective roadways, including claims involving:

  • Dangerous road conditions
  • Defectively designed highways
  • Poorly maintained streets
  • Potholes
  • Lack of a shoulder

The statute of limitations can be as short as 90 days in defective roadway cases, especially if any municipalities or governmental agencies are involved. Don't delay, call immediately for a free consultation at 212-964-1390 in New York City or toll free 877-298-3201.

As a driver, you should be able to assume the roads you drive on are safe and were designed and maintained according to all local, state and federal standards. However, roads do not always live up to that, leading to serious injuries and even death.

Time Is Not On Your Side Act Quickly to Preserve Your Evidence

If you were injured due to defective or poorly maintained roadways, you need to file your claim as soon as possible so we can compile evidence and make your case before the statute of limitations runs out.

Contact us today to schedule a free initial consultation with an attorney. For your convenience, we offer home and hospital visits.
