* If the driver did not take reasonable precautions to avoid the debris, they may be found to be at-fault. For example, if the driver was speeding or driving too closely to the vehicle in front of them, they may be found to be at-fault if they hit debris that they could have otherwise avoided.
* If the driver's vehicle was not properly maintained, they may be found to be at-fault. For example, if the driver's brakes were not working properly or if their tires were bald, they may be found to be at-fault if they hit debris that they would have been able to avoid if their vehicle had been properly maintained.
In general, however, the driver is not at-fault if they hit debris on the highway. This is because the presence of debris on the highway is generally considered to be a hazard beyond the driver's control.
If you are involved in an accident involving debris on the highway, you should contact a car accident attorney to discuss your legal rights.
