For example, if the unkept road caused you to lose control of your vehicle and crash, you may be able to argue that the road condition was a contributing factor to the accident. However, if you were driving recklessly or failed to take proper precautions, you may still be found to be at fault for the accident, even if the road condition played a role.
In some cases, it may be possible to file a joint claim against both the government agency or private entity responsible for maintaining the road and the other driver involved in the accident. This may be the case if both parties were at fault for the accident, such as if the other driver was speeding and you were driving on an unkept road.
If you are involved in a car accident on an unkept road, it is important to seek legal advice to discuss your rights and options. A qualified attorney can help you assess the circumstances of your accident and determine the best course of action to pursue compensation for your damages.
