With thousands of vehicles weighing millions of collective pounds crossing Indiana daily, the state’s roads and highways experience heavy loads and require a significant amount of maintenance. The Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) is responsible for maintaining state roads, and various municipalities and city governments are supposed to keep their local roads safe. If potholes, breaks in the pavement, or certain missing safety features are found to be at fault for a car accident, the agency in question needs to be held accountable for the damage.

One of the primary reasons that poorly maintained roads lead to car wrecks is that drivers are not expecting to encounter a pothole, broken pavement, or other obstruction. Hitting one of these obstacles at highway or road speed could either cause the car to crash, swerve out of control into traffic or another vehicle, or hit a pedestrian or cyclist. An accident could not only cause damage to the vehicle, but could cause significant injuries to the driver or passengers. Some of the more common accident-causing road damage includes:

Following are some of the most commonly asked questions we get about car accidents caused by dangerous road conditions. If you have any other questions about your accident, don’t hesitate to contact the attorneys at Chapman Injury Lawyers.
Usually government agencies are responsible for maintaining the roads, but Indiana law gives government organizations time to discover the faulty condition and time to repair it before they can be held liable for an accident. If the condition has existed for a long time, then the law may hold that they had ample time to discover the problem and should have repaired it.
You will need to provide: the name of the road, the location of the condition that caused the accident, what direction you were traveling, the physical characteristics of the obstruction (size, depth, etc.), and the names and contact information of any witnesses. It will help to take pictures of the obstruction as soon as possible for evidence. If you wait, the nature of the obstruction may change. You will also need to know which government body is responsible for that section of the roadway. Your attorney can help with the necessary research.
Each accident is unique, but some possible forms of compensation may take include:
