The highways you drive on every day should not be something you fear. The government has a literal army of engineers and accredited construction workers making sure the designs of the highways keep you safe and that they do not fail for seemingly no reason whatsoever. It is a sad fact, though, that for all the foresight that goes into designing, building, and maintaining a highway, sometimes things go wrong.
These failures could take various forms, from the accidental design of an overpass that is too low for state and federal highway regulations, causing vehicles to impact the overpass itself, to inadequate safety measures for vehicles going over a bridge. Simply put, if a failure of the structure caused you injury in any way, there is possibly liability on the part of another party. Working with an experienced defective highway design lawyer can help determine who might be at fault and how you must be made whole and compensated for your physical or mental health injuries.
Is it truly a guardrail when it is the cause of your injuries or, in some cases, the death of someone involved in an accident? Sometimes, a poorly designed guardrail or barricade can be even more dangerous than not having one. You would be surprised, too, how little oversight goes into the installation of some of these.
It does not take a degree in physics to recognize that barricades and guardrails are not something you want to encounter in an unsafe manner (going 70mph, for instance). Suppose you have been in an accident where a poorly designed and/or placed guardrail or barricade caused an injury or damage to your property. In that case, you should consult an experienced highway design lawyer to determine your options.
You might remember from driver’s education classes to follow the rules of the road. If you do not, injuries or death can result. So, what happens when the rules of the road are missing? What do you do if you do not know a stop sign at an upcoming highway intersection? This scenario is probably one of the scariest and most dangerous situations you can encounter on the road—a poorly maintained or even missing traffic sign or signal. Tragically, these all too often result in injuries and some cases, deaths.

Whether you think you are injured or not, you should always seek medical attention, even if you have to pay for it out of pocket. The medical evidence of any injuries will help with a settlement from the insurance company, and if it goes to court, it will help your case. Continue to see a medical professional for any new or worsening symptoms related to the accident.
Most accidents involving a drunk driver are deemed as the drunk driver is at fault. However, you could be at fault or partially, depending on the circumstances. You have to prove that the drunk driver’s negligence is linked to his intoxication and caused the accident. There are five essential elements of a negligent case:
The other person’s insurance company will try to get to settle sooner rather than later. This is not a good idea because some injuries do not show up immediately or worsen. You want to wait until you are stable. You will also be asked to sign a release of liability at the time of settlement, meaning if more injuries show up related to the accident, you will not be able to present them as part of your claim. You will also have a better chance of getting a higher settlement if the drunk driver is convicted of or pleads guilty to driving under the influence (DUI).
If you are in a motor vehicle accident, you should hire an attorney to help you with your case. Finding one that practices personal injury will help you build a case and determine who is liable. Monro Law Firm, P.S. Inc. is here for you from start to finish, and we’ll walk you through the whole process and go to court when necessary.
I went in for a quick consultation. They were no nonsense, to the point and very helpful. Also they did not try to up sell me on extra stuff or take advantage of the delicate situation I came in to consult about . Gave me great honest advice and if I can't handle my situation on my own I will definitely be back for services . Great first impression!

I have used this attorney two times once for a car accident and once for a work injury and both times they were amazing. I got way more than I expected and I didn't have to worry about a thing. I would recommend this firm, also they were quick to return phone calls and emails.

We have worked with Steve for the past 5 years. He has won every battle along the way for us and always been available to answer our questions. When we were getting frustrated with the process he took the time to explain what was going on and what our options where. I highly recommend this law firm and greatly appreciate all the hard work they have done for our case!

I was in an accident as a passenger earlier this year. I had a free consult with Justin Monro shortly after because I was concerned about the cost of my recovery. Justin was kind, personable and confident he could help me. It took several months of trips to the chiropractor, but once I was back in good health, Justin and his staff were promptly in communication with me regarding my case. My medical bills were taken care of and Monro Law went above and beyond in helping me obtain a settlement that was much greater than I had anticipated. I don't know what I would have done without their help in my road to recovery. They did all the work in dealing with the insurance company which relieved a lot of stress. I highly recommend their services.
