Highway Design Defects
Philadelphia Highway Design Defects
Many inexperienced and so-called "injury lawyers" fail to consider whether a highway design defect was a contributing factor in vehicle collision cases. Indeed, Ferrara Law Offices has "rescued" cases from other lawyers who were on the verge of settling an auto case for what they thought was the defendant's full policy limits without considering whether others were responsible for the happening of the accident.
In Pennsylvania, highway design defect cases are very sophisticated claims to prosecute. A skilled attorney must understand not only the science behind such claims, but also the interrelationship between the immunities and statutory caps given to local governments and the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania Department of Transportation, and the strategies to circumvent the immunities and statutory caps which limit the amount a victim can receive. Moreover, given the 2011 Pennsylvania legislation relating the the severe modification of "Joint & Several" liability, there are very sophisticated obstacles which must be considered when presenting a highway design defect case.
