Waco Uneven Pavement Lawyers
There are many aspects of highway safety that are mostly or completely under the control of a motorist. For example, the speed at which he or she chooses to drive, the decision to avoid distracting actions such as text messaging, and ensuring that one’s motor vehicle is properly maintained are all reasonably within the power of a driver.
The condition of the highway, however, is the responsibility of a municipal agency or hired contractor and is certainly beyond the realm of a driver’s control. When those parties fail to properly execute their responsibilities, dangerous accidents can result. Uneven pavement is one of the most common highway defects, and it can cause significant vehicle damage or collisions.
If you have been hurt in an accident caused by uneven pavement, then a civil legal action can help you to obtain the financial compensation that you are due. It should be noted that the awarded amount in a successful lawsuit is likely to be greater than that available through an insurance claim.

Uneven Pavement Injuries
Uneven pavement tends to be the product of unfinished road work, and while one lane is not yet properly completed, it may be higher or lower than the adjoining lane. As one half of a vehicle drops down onto lower pavement or the tires make contact with the edge of the higher lane, it may be difficult to maintain control of an automobile.
The injuries that are caused accidents resulting from uneven pavement may include:
- Whiplash
- Spinal cord injuries
- Traumatic brain injuries
- Fractured bones
Injuries like these can lead to expensive treatments and painful long-term consequences. If you are interested in pursuing compensation from a negligent municipality or contractor, our Waco uneven pavement attorneys are ready to help.
