How can I find out who is resposible for when it snows or the roads ice up on the interstate? I had a bad accident because the road was iced up. I was doing 40 in a 65 mile zone. There was no signs or aything. I totally lost my jeep and have major bruising on my face.
I live in the state of New York along interstate 81. If you can be of any assistants Thank You..

Okay for the people who do not comprehend... No I did not know the weather was bad. (D.A) I guess the dumb answers should be worth 2 points. Good Luck in your lifetime. (A.Holes)

Oh and I was actually 4 exits from mine and If I would have know the roads where bad do you think I would have continued to drive? Again I thank the people that can actuallty give a good opinion and not have smart remarks.

The state takes care of the interstate. The only problem you have is that you were on the road you knew the conditions were bad, but you stayed on the road anyway. You have no case against the state.

I hate that you are experiancing pain! I hope you have insurance and can get your Jeep fixed or replaced.
I also hope you had a personal injury protection (PIP) clause so you can gain some cash from this rather harsh way to learn.
The Department of Transportation is the entity that deals with snow and ice on Interstate roadways.
How could you not know that the possibility of ice on the roads existed in freezing weather though?
You are responsible for recognizing hazards while you drive. The DOT can't warn each and every person of each and every problem on any give stretch of road. It is just not possible. Sorry!

You should call the high way patrol in your area. Some times ice can not be prevented when there is a storm. If it gets that bad, you should get off the road. It takes years of driving to learn how to drive on winter roads, and then you can never trust it. They will not post signs.. Hope your bruises get better and better of luck to you in the future !!

Tough lesson to learn. Hope you are okay. But the fact is... you have to take care of yourself in this world. Be carefull and don't expect so much from others. Learn to survive if you want to stay alive.

Ummm, God is responsible for the weather its self. About the signs, call the city workers.

Your insurance co. is responsible for fixing your car. As far as who is responsible for ice...............try suing the man upstairs.
Road workers do as much as they CAN, but they cannot be held responsible for your problem. That's how it goes sometimes.
