Roadway Hazards

We are seeing time and time again that drivers are getting into accidents due to roadway hazards. An object falling off another vehicle, a tire dislodging from another vehicle, debris from another accident or improperly stopping a vehicle in the middle of the roadway are just some of the ways that road hazards are created.

Regardless of whether or not you know the identity of the other motor vehicle, you are covered through your policy for this loss. If you were injured due to someone else causing a hazard in the road, contact the team at Diamond & Diamond™ for a free consultation.

Did you know that speeding contributed to 25.3% of fatal motor vehicle accidents in 2020?
