Uneven Pavement

Riding a motorcycle is, although motorcyclists might hesitate to admit it, substantially more delicate than driving a car. Any interruption of or impediment to the normal rotation of a motorcycle’s wheels at any typical rate of speed can have disastrous consequences for the rider and his bike, let alone any pedestrians or other motorists in the vicinity.

In Iowa, where dramatic temperature and humidity changes are standard throughout the year, the roadways are prone to distress. Municipal and state governments constantly try to keep them well-maintained, but while they are working on the road or before they can repair the damage done by the weather and climate there are often pieces of roadway where uneven pavement poses a serious threat to the safety of motorcyclists.

Iowa roadway defects lawyer Pete Leehey can help you to obtain the compensation that you may be due if a municipality or agency’s failure to properly even the road surface directly or indirectly caused your motorcycle accident. There are many costs associated with the aftermath of a motorcycle accident, including the expense of medical care, repairs to your bike (if it is not a total loss), lost wages if you have to miss work due to medical treatment or injury, and others.
