I slid on an ice covered bridge that had not been salted. No others were involved. Are counties or cities responsible for this type of accident? I hit the side rail and incurred some vehicle damage.
I slipped on an ice covered bridge and wrecked my car, is the city liable for this?

Depending on the state you live in, it is likely that the Department of Transportation has a responsibility of salting dangerous roads to ensure public safety. In order to evaluate if the state you live in has that responsibility, you would have to review the torts and statutes surrounding liability and responsibility of salting public roads. It is advisable to take this matter to a qualified attorney.
If you have been involved in an auto accident due to unsafe conditions, contact a Car Accident Attorney to determine your legal rights.
