Baltimore Uneven Pavement Attorney

Roads are made of several different layers of gravel and asphalt that help create a smooth, stable driving surface. However, due to improper construction or the natural effects of erosion, roadways can slip and settle at different rates, leading to uneven patches of pavement. This can make for a bumpy and damaging trip for you and your vehicle.

Uneven pavement can cause you physical pain as well as costly car damage. In some cases, a municipality or government may be responsible for compensating you for these expenses. To learn more about your legal options, contact an experienced Baltimore uneven pavement lawyer from Belsky, Weinberg & Horowitz, LLC at 410-234-0100 today.

The Dangers of Uneven Pavement

When you drive over uneven patches of pavement, it can jolt you around and cause whiplash. Additionally, as your car runs over uneven pavement, your tires can catch on a crack and suffer from blowouts. You may be pulled from side to side as you bounce over the pavement, and this can result in a loss of control.

Car Damage from Cracked Pavement

Cracked, uneven pavement can cause damage to your vehicle as well, including:

Tire damage
Blowouts
Suspension and shock absorption problems
Loss of tire alignment

These are costly damages that can lead to devastating car accidents. You should talk to a lawyer today if you have suffered due to improperly maintained asphalt.
