Navigating Roadway-Related Car Accident Claims with Sousa Law, LLC

Road conditions often play a significant role in car accidents. Factors like inclement weather, nighttime driving, inadequate signage, malfunctioning traffic lights, deep potholes, and unclear bike lanes can all contribute to serious accidents.

Pursuing Claims Against Municipalities for Negligence

At times, it may be necessary to file claims against the municipalities where the accident occurred. While many attorneys handle standard accident claims effectively, confronting a governmental entity responsible for road maintenance requires a higher level of experience and discernment. Sousa Law, LLC possesses this caliber of experience. Attorney Bob Sousa of Shelton brings a unique perspective, having served both as a personal injury lawyer and as the first selectman (mayor) of the Town of Orange, Connecticut. His respect within local towns and counties, coupled with his success in securing compensation for clients, makes him a formidable advocate.

Understanding the Responsibility for Road Safety

The question of who the road belongs to ultimately points to a shared ownership among the public. Governments are not always liable for every accident, as managing road safety is a complex task. However, there are instances where delayed responses to road issues or failure to provide adequate signage make governmental entities accountable.
