Roadway crashes frequently occur due to factors other than the actions of the driver(s) involved. A significant number of crashes are influenced by unsafe roadway design, roadway surface deterioration, inadequate signage, insufficient lighting, and other known roadway hazards which will significantly increase the severity of an accident resulting in serious bodily injury.
If a hazardous roadway condition contributed to an individual’s personal injury, the liability of the roadway crash may extend beyond the driver(s) involved in the collision; public entities, contractors, or private entities responsible for maintaining safe roadway conditions may also be liable.
The dangerous roadway attorney reviews how the roadway was functioning at the time of the subject accident. The review typically includes design plans, the repair history of the roadway, previous complaints regarding the roadway, and applicable safety standards. The information obtained during this review is critical in determining if the claimant has a viable claim against the relevant party/entities.
Artin concentrates his practice exclusively on claims for serious and permanent injuries arising from dangerous roadway accidents. Artin’s representation involves the initial review of potential claims, developing a clear strategy for each case, and carefully developing each case through litigation, settlement negotiations, mediation, and arbitration.

The Role of Preparation in High-Stakes Injury Claims
Serious injuries resulting from unsafe conditions within roadway accidents require a plan early on. The medical history, the expert’s opinion regarding the injury, as well as the need for ongoing care must correspond to the legal aspects of the case.
The result of many cases is based upon establishing an unmistakable relationship between the condition of the roadway and the injury. This relationship must be supported by evidence and also reviewed by experts.
Artin limits the number of clients he accepts to allow himself to be involved at all stages. He allows his clients to interact directly with him; therefore, decisions are made that consider the client’s legal needs as well as the reality of their recovery.
A Broader Personal Injury Practice Built on Selectivity
The primary areas of dangerous roadway accident representation by Artin are a major area of focus; however, he also represents clients in other types of serious personal injury claims. His areas of representation include: traumatic brain injuries; accidents involving pedestrians or bicycles; motorcycle and automobile collisions; bus and truck accidents; construction accidents; premises liability (the responsibility of property owners to provide safe conditions for visitors); product liability; workplace injuries; and wrongful deaths.
Artin evaluates each claim based upon the individual’s circumstances. He evaluates cases based upon their severity, the level of complexity, and the potential long-term effects of an injury. In this manner, Artin strives to provide the best possible advocacy, rather than simply focusing on the number of cases he can handle.
