LACK OF ADEQUATE ROAD MARKINGS AND SIGNS HELD AGAINST COUNTY

The Supreme Court of Alabama ruled in March 1985 that Jefferson County was liable for injured suffered by a Jeep driver on a county road lacking proper signs and required delineation. Details are described of the accident and the county's arguments against the charges. Issues raised by the County at appeal are also discussed. The evidence that the County had received prior notification of defects on that section of the road where the accident occurred is also presented. It is also described how the jury addresssed the County's appeal that a jury was not charged with setting standards of care.
