Highway Investigations
Many highway claims allege that the highway infrastructure was in some way to blame for an incident or contributed to its severity, whether through poor design or inadequate maintenance. |

Highway maintenance issues are often brought to the fore when investigating incidents that occurred in inclement weather, such as when road surfaces exhibit areas of surface water, frost, ice, snow, drifting sand etc.
In all such cases it is important not only to have a good understanding of the physical state of the highway environment at the time of the incident but also the policies and systems operated by the responsible highway authority and how they compare to international standards.
