Waco Pothole Lawyers

The climate in central Texas is highly variable throughout the course of the year. The dramatic shifts in temperature and humidity cause the materials which make up the surface of our roads to expand and contract, and eventually the stress that results produces cracks in the roadway. When multiple cracks intersect, potholes are the probable consequence. Potholes are but one example of dangerous highway defects that are attributable to negligent highway maintenance or construction. The car accidents or motor vehicle damage that might be incurred due to an unfortunate encounter with a pothole could be severe.

If you have been hurt in a motor vehicle accident or suffered property damage in an accident caused or worsened by a pothole, then it might be appropriate to consider filing a legal action to seek financial compensation. Contact the Waco pothole lawyers of the Law Offices of Vic Feazell, P.C., at 877-948-4842 to speak with a skilled and experienced attorney who can help protect your legal rights.

Collecting Damages in Pothole Accident Cases

Potholes can vary in size and depth, and the extent of the damage that they produce is influenced by both of these factors in addition to the position of the pothole on the road, the speed of the car at the time of the encounter, and many more details. The consequences of driving into a large and deep pothole can be catastrophic, resulting in a burst tire, compromised undercarriage, and loss of vehicular control. The financial compensation that is available to you will depend upon the specific consequences of your pothole accident, but may include:

  • Compensation for medical bills associated with accident injuries
  • Compensation for motor vehicle repairs
  • Damages for pain and suffering
  • Damages for emotional anguish
