Louisville Shoulder Drop-off Lawyers
With close to two million injuries and an additional 40,000 deaths attributed to motor vehicle accidents every year in the United States, getting behind the wheel to drive has become one of the most dangerous activities the average American does every day. Driving on the highway can be even more dangerous, especially if road conditions are less than ideal. City or state municipalities are responsible for ensuring highways have safe shoulders where motorists can easily pull over without the presence of an unsafe drop-off. Shoulder drop-offs can put motorists in serious danger of losing control of their vehicle and, therefore, increasing the risk of an accident.
At the Sampson Law Firm, we understand how trying it can be when you’ve suffered through an accident caused by reckless road management, especially if you have suffered extensive injuries that have left you disabled and unable to go to work to earn a living. To learn more about how you may be able to recover financial compensation, contact a Louisville personal injury attorney today at 502-584-5050 and start building your case.
Dangers of Unsafe Shoulder Drop-offs
If there is an unsafe height difference between the roadway and shoulder, it could put you and any passenger at serious risk of an accident and injury. These accidents can range in severity and may cause any of the following damages to your vehicle:
- Damage to the wheels and suspension
- Damaged brakes
- Tire blowouts
- Any damage underneath the vehicle
- Cracked or broken oil pans
A severe shoulder drop-off may also cause you to lose control of the vehicle and even flip. If you have suffered serious damage from an unsafe shoulder drop-off, get in touch with an attorney today.
