Roadway Defects




Perhaps you were injured in a car or truck accident on a State Route like Route 422 or Route 73 or Route 100. If it was a multiple-vehicle accident, there is going to likely be an at-fault driver. However, it's possible the design of the roadway had a defective condition. Maybe there was a drainage problem that caused ice to form on the road or there was a sign or traffic light problem. For a State road, the State/PennDOT would be responsible for the roadway. If a local/municipal road, then that would be the local municipality's responsibility.

Under PA Law, usually government entities have to be notified within 180 days of the incident. This type of matter may likely require an expert.
