Unsafe Roads and Government Liability

Poor Road Design Accidents

Attorneys at the Oakland/Bay Area firm of Gwilliam, Ivary, Chiosso, Cavalli & Brewer have a level of experience and proven success with unsafe road, intersection and highway cases that is difficult to match. This practice also includes accidents involving vehicles owned by governmental entities such as Muni or CalTrans. Our practice is focused on handling serious/catastrophic and fatal injury cases. Our lawyers have obtained numerous seven-figure settlements or verdicts for their clients over the past 30 years. Because of our reputation and track record, we routinely are referred cases by other lawyers in northern California and beyond.

Whenever a potential client is seriously injured in a motor vehicle accident, the design of the road itself, the signage, potential blind spots and the presence of any pavement or shoulder defects are taken into consideration.

We are successful at getting our clients the compensation they deserve and the additional support they may need, such as medical assistance or counseling. Much like the medical field, our firm has come to adopt a holistic approach to the practice of law and we have tried to offer clients more than just legal representation. We find that the holistic approach is indispensable to the overall satisfaction or our clients.

Spotlight Case
Our client lost his wife in an auto accident which we felt was caused, in part, by a dangerous intersection. Other attorneys had refused his case, and he sought justice for himself and his two sons. We took the case and achieved a jury verdict in excess of $3 million. We have a continuing relationship with his very fine family.
