Potholes are as common in the streets of Houston as are the accidents caused by them. Many car and bike drivers have sustained severe injuries after failing to notice such potholes, especially at night, when the visibility of the road ahead is low. The potholes can occur if the government agencies and the concerned authority fails to maintain the expected road conditions, which is why, if you suffer from severe injuries due to potholes, you can demand compensation from the government agency under the Federal Tort Claims Act<\/a> and similar state Tort Act, in case of Texas, the Texas Tort Claims Act<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n However, suing the government isn’t as easy as suing another private citizen or organization. If you want to recover compensation for your injury from the authorities, you need to hire strong legal representation to fight the government agency. Contact Jerome O.
