Whether you are riding your bike or driving a car, road hazards could be the cause of your accident. If this is the case, the road agency could be the one at fault. If you are in an accident that was initially caused because of road hazards, it is in your best interest to call an Illinois personal injury lawyer. You should not be the one to pay for an injury that is unavoidable and should not have happened.
Potholes are common road hazards that cars and bikes may run into. These are generally caused by when the surface breaks because of long term wear and tear on the road. They can also happen when road fixes are not up to par and the fixed road cracks soon after.
If the pothole was caused by temporary repair work, the road agency would be responsible IF they did not provide sufficient warning, such as blocking the repaired area or putting warning signs or cones up.
If the pothole was the result of long-term wear and tear, then the road agency would be responsible if they were found negligent. This would depend on how long the surface break has been there.
If it has only been there a couple of days, the road agency would possibly not be responsible. However, if the pothole has been there for a few weeks or months, it could be found liable, especially if there were other accidents that were called in because of this particular pothole and the road agency did not fix.
If you are in an accident caused by a pothole, contact a Peoria accident lawyer for advice.
