Baltimore Municipal Negligence Attorney

When you pay your taxes, the money typically goes toward several different areas, such as education, park maintenance, and salaries for public officials. However, one very important responsibility of municipalities is effectively using tax dollars to build and maintain the roadways. If they ignore growing traffic problems and road defects, it can result in the buildup of dangerous driving conditions.

As a taxpayer, you deserve safe, hazard-free roadways. If you have suffered in an auto accident due to unsafe road conditions, your municipal government may be responsible for your injuries. You may be entitled to financial compensation to help you with medical bills, lost wages, and other expenses.

Types of Municipal Negligence

Local governments have an obligation to be aware of the development of road problems. They should also pay attention to increasing levels of traffic so that new roads can be built to ease congestion. If they ignore these problems, the consequences can be devastating. Types of municipal roadway negligence include:

Allowing traffic to build up to dangerous levels
Ignoring road defects that develop over time
Not responding to broken stoplights, railroad crossings, etc.
Failing to install or replace road signs
Improperly managing road construction crews
Not fixing hazardous intersections or other incorrectly engineered roads

Your municipality should put your tax dollars to good use so that you are aptly served as a citizen of your community. If you have been hurt in a car accident due to municipal negligence, you should talk to a lawyer immediately to learn more about your legal rights.
