One case in the District of Columbia involved a pothole that swallowed the ABRAMS LANDAU client&#8217;s front wheel while driving under L&#8217;Enfant Plaza in Washington, D.C.  Another client of cyclist lawyer Doug Landau was injured when his bicycle tire went into a hole on the Virginia bike path that was filled with water so it was impossible to see the dangerous condition.  Recently brought to the Herndon Reston injury lawyer&#8217;s attention was a lawsuit over a pot hole accident that settled in Missouri.<\/p>\n<p>According to the <a title=\"kansas star cycle pothole case\" href=\"https:\/\/www.kansascity.com\/2010\/08\/23\/2170106\/jackson-county-pays-270000-to.html\" target=\"_blank\">Kansas Star<\/a>, Jackson County Missouri, has agreed to a $270,000 settlement in a lawsuit filed by a cyclist who crashed his bike in a pot hole last summer. The plaintiff in this personal injury lawsuit was riding his motorcycle in east Jackson County when he pot hole ankle-deep and as wide as his arms, his lawsuit claims, suffering serious injuries. The suit alleges the county was previous aware of the dangerous pot hole but had done nothing to fix it.  Where there is a dangerous condition and sufficient &#8220;notice&#8221; such that the landowner knew or should have known about it and fixed, warned or taken other action to prevent foreseeable injuries, the law may affix liability and hold such a defendant liable for all of the Plaintiff&#8217;s reasonable and related losses.<\/p>\n<p>If you have been harmed by the negligence or fault of a landowner, occupier, maintenance company or management group, <a title=\"mail front desk\" href=\"mail.landaulawshop.com\" target=\"_blank\">e-mail <\/a>or call us at <a title=\"Landau Law Shop web site\" href=\"https:\/\/www.landaulawshop.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">ABRAMS LANDAU, Ltd. <\/a>(703-796-9555).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ABRAMS LANDAU Trial lawyer Doug Landau has helped clients injured by potholes and other roadway defects.
