Did you know that your local, state or federal agency has a responsibility to properly maintain roadways? If a particular roadway poses an unreasonable danger, the given agency must respond in a timely manner and repair the damage. Sometimes this does not happen, and tragically, car accidents can result.
The U.S. Department of Transportation and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration published an extensive report for Congress in 2008 that surveyed the major causes of motor vehicle crashes. The report stated that, Any adverse roadway condition is likely to increase the crash risk. In this study, a significant percentage of motor vehicle crashes were attributed to at least one poor roadway condition.
The most common roadway conditions that can lead to an accident included:
- Hazardous road conditions, such as wet or slick road surfaces not properly treated for snow, ice or other weather conditions.
- Roadway obstructions that block views due to poor road design or other objects, including unmarked construction, poorly lit marked areas, blind curves, and landscaping that obstructs views.
- Roadway or highway geometry that is unsafe, which could include roadway features like poorly designed intersections, cross sections, roadsides, ramps and drop offs.
- Unsafe narrow shoulders or roads.
- Traffic signals or signs that are missing or have malfunctioned.
- Poorly maintained roads with potholes, loose gravel, or debris.

Phillips law group has an amazing staff and i recommend them to everyone.

I tried a few previous law firms and none would take my car accident case with confidence they could get my anything. Phillips law group took my case and although it took around 4 years to get this case settled as I was in treatment, they never let up with insurance adjusters and they got me as much money as possible. They worked hard for me and advocated for me. Shoutout to key individuals who worked my case nonstop of the years, Robert Ross & Jasmine, you are AMAZING!

Many companies talk about teamwork but few practice it. Many companies talk about an employee friendly environment but few actually provide it. At Phillips Law Group the foundation of our success is making sure we work as a team and that we work in an environment that allows everyone to thrive and be at their best every day. Our firm understands that in order for the client to have a great experience the people responsible for that client’s case must be given all the necessary tools and encouragement to make that happen. That’s the Phillips Way. As a manager of this firm in charge of several employees as well as directly affecting the client’s experience I take tremendous pride in saying we live by these premises and we work hard to build on them and make them better every day. This is an amazing place because it has amazing people working here!

Great experience! Took care of pretty much everything, and I always felt like I want in good hands. Caroline Fa. was also a great help with everything. She always returned my calls and I never felt unheard. Even after my case she would still help me with my insurance documents.

I would like to send special thanks to Phillips Law Group for giving me the opportunity to be a part of the Best Law Firm here in the Valley. During these troubling times with the epidemic, Phillips Law Group has masterfully created this family-like environment while still maintaining a professional and business-like approach for all their clients. Thru impeccable leadership that is unmatched by other law firms to the Multi-diverse employment opportunities that many employees advance within the firm; Phillips Law Group has not only distanced themselves from all other competition in the Personal Injury field but also has innovatively changed the narrative of being a great law institution. From providing Employee Appreciation Day to celebrating all major Holiday including great competitive contests; Phillips Law Group has the total participation of all employees to help contribute to the continued success of this firm. So in closing I would like to thank Senior Administration (Jeffery Phillips, Eva Chiaramonte, and Tim Tonkin) along with all of my colleagues and many friends for help making Phillips Law Group a unique and wonderful place to call my place of employment for 6+ years.
