The most comprehensive and up-to-date reference on roadway defects. Written by one of the world's leading roadway safety experts, you will get many valuable insights on the roadway design, roadway maintenance, traffic engineering, and human factors aspects of roadway safety. You have recognized that not only do plaintiffs sometimes file frivolous suits against roadway agencies, but also that roadway agencies occasionally offer irrational arguments in an attempt to defend well-founded suits. However, the intention is to recognize that most states have tort laws that allow for the negligence of all parties to be compared. As such, the acts or omissions of the roadway agency are often weighed against the actions or lack of actions by the drivers involved in a roadway collision. This guide is written specifically for plaintiff and defense lawyers, expert witnesses in the litigation of roadway defect cases, and roadway agencies. You will be presented with an ongoing dialogue about the major issues surrounding the most prevalent roadway defect categories, and a clear focus on prevalent roadway safety problems and their best candidate for solutions.

If you have clients who have been involved in a low-speed collision you understand the hassle caused by such accidents. The insurance companies can refuse to cover injuries because there is doubt that injuries are sustained at such low speeds; this is especially true if there is little or no vehicle damage. However, the extent of damage to the cars does not indicate the extent of injury-causing loads on the passengers in the cars, particularly at low speeds. This book, now in its third edition, studies the science of reconstructing and analyzing low-speed (0-20mph) automobile accidents. You will read about analyzing accidents that result in little or no vehicle damage; how, even at low speeds, the final position of the vehicles can look as if the accident occurred at a much higher speed than the driver claims; and occupent kinematics. With this book you will also receive a silent video that includes film clips and animations to demonstrate the principles outlines in this book. No
