Austin Pothole Lawyers
Potholes form on roads due to a variety of problems, but should be quickly resolved by a local traffic authority. If left unchecked, these potholes can develop into sizeable roadway hazards. A motorist running over these potholes may lose control over their vehicle, causing them to collide with another vehicle or a roadside object. These collisions can cause serious injuries for anyone involved.
If you have been harmed in an accident caused by a pothole or have suffered extensive vehicle damage, contact the Austin pothole lawyers of the Law Offices of Vic Feazell, P.C., at 877-948-4842 today. You may be entitled to financial compensation for the damages sustained.
Pothole Injuries
When a driver runs over a pothole, they may become seriously injured because of immediate damage to the vehicle or because of the ensuing loss of control. In many cases, a pothole may not be large enough to bring a vehicle to an abrupt and violent stop. Instead, the vehicle may veer wildly and become involved in a collision. However, some larger and deeper potholes may be substantial enough to immobilize a wheel. This can cause the vehicle to stop sharply.
The following injuries may be sustained because of a pothole:
- Whiplash
- Bone fractures
- Brain damage
- Lacerations and scarring
- Internal bleeding
- Muscle and connective tissue injuries
These injuries may require immediate medical assistance, which can prove particularly expensive for an injured individual to handle.
