A dangerous roadway condition may be the result of normal wear and tear, another's negligence, or an act of nature. However, in many cases, the government can also be held responsible for damages when the dangerous condition was caused by:
Poor road design or planning of roads,
Bad construction (such as use of cheap materials for building roads or bridges), or
Failure to maintain and repair the roadways.
If your injury is caused by the government's failure to properly protect its citizens, it may be held responsible for your injuries.
