Roadway design and maintenance are important components of traffic safety. The law offices of Robinson, Calcagnie & Robinson have represented a number of clients in cases involving negligence on the part of the Department of Transportation of the State of California (Caltrans) and various cities and counties in connection with roadwayf design and maintenance issues. When government agencies or municipalities fail to install and maintain traffic control devices and warning signs, trim trees, fill potholes, or remove other obstructions that lead to poor visibility and accidents, we recover damages for clients injured in accidents that happen as a result. Our dangerous road lawyers work with licensed professionals in highway design, traffic safety, surveying, human factors, traffic control devices and roadway maintenance, to determine if dangerous conditions such as defective defsign or maintenance caused an accident.
