Austin Uneven Pavement Lawyers

A motorist can be seriously injured if they lose control over their vehicle due to uneven pavement. One of the most common causes for uneven pavement is road work. A construction crew may tear up a large section of the road, leaving one lane substantially higher than the other. If this height difference is not fixed between the two lanes through immediate road work, a vehicle may be substantially damaged by this safety issue.

Injuries from Uneven Pavement

Uneven pavement does not seem like it may pose considerable problems for a modern motor vehicle. However, even relatively slight differences in height on the road can cause serious safety and control concerns. This is because a sudden drop can rupture tires or may create significant differences in friction between the tires on opposite sides of the vehicle, creating a spinning hazard. If a motorist loses control over their vehicle because of this pavement issue, they may sustain the following injuries:

  • Broken bones
  • Lacerations and scarring
  • Whiplash
  • Brain damage

These injuries can have a profound impact on a person’s lifestyle and professional abilities. To recover from these injuries, an injured motorist may need to undergo considerable medical treatment. This treatment may prove particularly expensive and require extended time away from work.
