$750,000 Wrongful Death Settlement Against Paving Contractor
A 19-year old woman died when the car she was riding in lost control after encountering an unmarked, dangerous pavement edge drop-off on Interstate 70. The paving contractor failed to put up any warnings about the pavement edge drop-off or make any attempt to alert drivers to the dangerous condition. A pavement edge drop-off of just two inches can cause a driver to lose control.
