Guardrails are, first and foremost, safety devices. They’re designed to crumple under the force of colliding vehicles, eventually slowing the cars to a stop. In some cases, though, guardrails don’t accordion back as they should. They sometimes remain rigid, impaling the vehicles they’re designed to bring to a stop. This transforms the safety device into a terrifying, dangerous shard of metal that can fatally harm drivers and passengers.

Dangerous Guardrails
Defective Guardrail Designs: Defective guardrail designs can spell tragedy for accident victims. Guardrails exist to soften the blow of cars that collide on highways and interstates. But when defective designs are in place, they can do the exact opposite – many victims find themselves injured in ways they never might have been, had the guardrail worked as intended.
Outdated Guardrails: Outdated guardrails also pose a huge threat to motorists. As safety technology changes and develops, outdated materials and designs become more and more dangerous. When outdated guardrails remain in place, they’re like ticking time bombs – one bad accident can end in catastrophe, simply because old technology hadn’t yet been replaced.
Improperly Installed Guardrails: Improperly installed guardrails are a form of negligence. As taxpayers, we expect our roads and highways to be safely maintained. But when a guardrail is improperly installed, motorists’ lives are at risk – because of someone else’s failure to do their job right. Everyone makes mistakes, but when the safety of others is on the line, such accidents can be deadly.
