re: Wife of man who drowned in flooded car on Bluebonnet files lawsuit against LADOTD

Say a roadway section of a bridge falls down every time there’s high wind. This happens a few times a year. Everyone “should” know not to drive on that bridge if the wind is blowing.

But the same section of bridge keeps being put up - and the government, who is responsible for the bridge, doesn’t fix the issue - wouldn’t it be the government’s fault and not the driver’s?

I’m all for personal responsibility. But at what point do you point at the government and say “you are in charge, this happens regularly, and you haven’t tried to fix it”? What should come from this is a solution to the problem, not a payday.
