A simple stopover at a rest stop could be all it takes to change your life, or your loved one's, forever. Although most rest stops in the country are generally safe, some are not. Many people have been raped and even killed at these locations nationwide. Others have been trafficked and separated from their loved ones for the rest of their lives.
Their fault? Trusting facilities set up help them rest and refresh before continuing with their journeys.
We Can Help Hold the Other Party Liable for Their Actions or Inaction
Most people do not realize that for every criminal activity that occurs at a rest stop, someone is usually liable. And in such cases, liability goes beyond the individual charged with assault, rape, trafficking, or any other crime. Rather, it includes other parties, such as government agencies, contractors, private developers, etc.
We Will Take on Any Defendant, Including Government Agencies
Since state governments usually manage most rest stops, you expect them to provide adequate security. And this goes beyond proper lighting for installing surveillance cameras; each rest stop is unique and requires security measures tailored to its unique needs. So when the parties responsible for managing these facilities fail to protect innocent travelers, they should be held accountable.
That is where Morgan & Morgan, America's largest injury firm, comes in to protect the rights of the injured when government agencies, private developers, and other parties fail. As the country's largest law firm, our attorneys are uniquely qualified and equipped to handle complex cases, including those involving claims against government agencies.
But here's the catch; personal injury cases are complicated and full of legal twists and turns. For example, by setting up short deadlines to file such cases, most states make it difficult and even impossible for the injured to take legal action against government agencies for their negligence. But these laws are only meant to deter the injured from fighting back. We can help you navigate these setbacks in your pursuit of compensation.
