Highway Design Defects

How a San Diego highway design attorney
with Casey Gerry can help you

Cases of highway design against public entities are among the most difficult brought to trial. Such cases involve taxpayer-funded entities and juries are made up of taxpayers. Jurors are very reluctant to apply liability against a public entity unless it can be clearly established that there is a dangerous roadway condition that a public entity either created, or had knowledge of or should have had knowledge of.

In highway design cases Casey Gerry's San Diego highway design attorneys will conduct a very extensive investigation of the history of the roadway involved in the accident, and analyze the findings in regard to all the other potential defendants in the case. Highway design cases should be brought only when there is very serious injury or a significant damage case resulting. They are challenging, and tend to be very expensive in terms of costs to pursue. Nonetheless, it is appropriate to hold a public entity responsible when it has a demonstrable track record of problems and failure to respond.
