“How do I sue the government for bad roads?” What you just read is a question asked more by motorcyclists than motorcycle riders. Any tiny object, piece of debris, standing water, unrepaired pothole, or open maintenance hole can kill or severely injure a motorcyclist riding at speeds of 15 miles per hour or more. You and I don’t maintain the roads we travel. We pay taxes and pray our public servants will.

I am Los Angeles personal injury attorney Michael Ehline. I wrote this page to help you understand motorcycle accidents and suing the government and their repair people when their negligence and mismanagement cause injuries to you or your loved ones. I am the lead counsel at Ehline Law Firm Personal Injury Attorneys, APLC. Our superior attorneys and staff have helped recover over $150 Million for California consumers.

Accident waitingRoad Safety for Motorcyclists; Knowing Who Is Responsible

Every state requires drivers and vehicles to meet specific standards to ensure safety on our nation’s roads. Drivers must drive safely and carefully as they commute around town. Car operators must obey the rules of the road to minimize dangers, etc.

Motorcycle riders must take separate rider tests. They can’t legally ride unless they certify they can drive safely with the unique requirements. But who ensures that the roads are safe enough for the motorcyclist? Most motor vehicle drivers probably realize that government agencies and sometimes individual companies are responsible for keeping our streets driveable and safe.

Most motorists don’t realize how much responsibility government and privately contracted agencies have to keep our roads safe. Let’s take a look at what you and your surviving loved ones need to know about suing the government for causing your injuries.

If I Suffer A Motorcycle Accident, Do I Have a Government Claim?

Yes, you just might. While many smashups are due to driver negligence or bad decisions, an astonishing number of accidents are due to privately contracted companies working at negligent government agencies’ behest. These public agencies like Caltrans manage contractors working to keep our roads safe for all drivers, including motorcyclists. But I bet you did not know that government agencies or companies could be held responsible for more than just fixing potholes. Our Los Angeles motorcycle accident government claims lawyers file claims to help victims recover compensation when they are liable under the Tort Claims Act.

The government, such as CalTrans or some other contractor hired by the government, may be held liable under various theories, statutes, and codes for:

  • Roads are insufficiently repaired, leaving potholes, sinkholes, or cracks that cause unsafe driving conditions.
  • Road repairs, temporary patches, or metal plates result in unsafe driving surfaces, particularly in low visibility areas.
  • Signage warning drivers of construction are not there or too hard to see.
  • Signs warning of hazards inherent to the road, such as sharp turns, curves, slopes, or speed bumps, are absent or hard to see.
  • Curves holding standing water or mud cause slick conditions and decreased tire grip.
  • Concrete, asphalt, rocks, gravel, or other road repair materials are not cleaned up in a timely fashion from road repairs or even dump truck spills.

So What Happens After Government Negligence Causes A Motorcycle Accident?

Before you contact your motorcycle insurance agent, contact an experienced Los Angeles injury attorney specializing in motorcycle accidents caused by road conditions. You will suffer heavy medical expenses, you will be forced to attend surgeries and physical therapy, and you may lose your job.

Motorcycle crash victims may lose their job and may become unemployable, addicted to pain-killing, prescription narcotics. It would help if you never assumed your insurance agency will do everything it could to pay all of your insurance and motorcycle repair bills either, let alone fully cover your permanent brain injury, for example.

Our outstanding, charismatic legal team helps provide a downed rider with hope and faith for a better tomorrow. Ehline Law has won numerous awards, including over $100 Million in verdicts and settlements. (a treasure trove in winnings from the various defendants and their insurance companies).
