Georgia Road Defect Attorneys
Road construction is a never-ending annoyance for drivers in Georgia. Worse than the aggravation though, are the real hazards caused by dangerous roadways, road construction and negligence on the part of the Department of Transportation, road construction crews, construction vehicles and county and municipal service vehicles.
If you have been in an accident caused by such negligence, you have the right to obtain compensation. These types of cases though, present many complex issues of fact and law that must be analyzed. You should obtain representation by a firm experienced in road defect and construction zone cases.
At Clark & Smith Law Firm LLC, we are strong advocates for people who have suffered losses as the result of road defects, governmental negligence and other types of vehicle accidents. We have represented clients in many such cases, and we have the investigatory and advocacy skills required to win.
Our firm frequently handles cases involving accidents caused by:
