Our Pittsburgh Attorneys Represent Those Injured Due to Roadway Design Defects

At The McClelland Law Group our lawyers have represented clients injured or killed as a result of a variety of highway designs and defects. Highway engineers are required to design roadways so as to not present dangerous highway conditions. When they fail to do so, oftentimes, automobile operators and their passengers are injured or killed. State and local municipalities are charged with the responsibility of reasonably maintaining the roadways. If you feel that a roadway design defect or maintenance issue was responsible for your car accident, it is extremely important for you to contact our firm promptly. Investigation must be undertaken as soon as possible to maintain evidence crucial to the prosecution of your claim.
