If you crashed your bike because of a roadway defect, you definitely should call a lawyer because you might have a case — depending on a few different factors. How long the defect has been on the road is a factor, as well as whether the city or county that maintains the road knew about the problem and chose not to do anything about it. Sometimes the problem is just a defect in the way the road was designed, too. These are all different ways that the local government could be responsible.
