HIGHWAY DEFECTS

Aggressive Highway Accident Attorneys in Kansas City

Many attorneys may be reluctant to represent you in a legal action against a local or state government entity. While very specific laws and limitations often apply to cases involving dangerous roads, highway defects and other unsafe conditions, our view at the Nash & Franciskato Law Firm is that every legitimate personal injury and wrongful death case should be pursued aggressively.

Taking Action Against Those Responsible for Dangerous Highways

If you or a family member has been involved in an auto accident or truck accident and you believe the fault lies elsewhere, please contact us today. Our lawyers have been successful with previous, significant suits against government authorities and construction companies, and we will consider every aspect of your case, including unsafe road conditions.

Many catastrophic accidents occur due to dangerous conditions on government property, including our streets and highways. We will evaluate your case free of charge, investigating such factors as:

• Defects or inadequacies in paving, including any edge drop-offs or other factors that may have caused loss of control over a vehicle
• The issue of whether proper signs and other warning mechanisms were in place to alert drivers to unusual driving conditions
• The presence and condition of guardrails where necessary for safety
• Special considerations involving safety in construction zones

Experienced Personal Injury Lawyers, Focused on Results

In a case involving highway defects, your personal injury lawyer must understand relevant statutes to evaluate your case and also be prepared to invest considerable resources in investigating your claim.

Experience with mediation and arbitration, as well as the willingness to try the case before a jury, may also be essential to obtain maximum compensation in your case. You can count on these qualities when you contact the Nash & Franciskato Law Firm based in Kansas City, Missouri.
