A: I assume your road is actually a joint permanent use easement. If so, then a title search may disclose maintenance duties. If just an easement by implication or otherwise, then there are probably no defined restrictions. Then at best, you would need a GA attorney to sue for property damages, of which you will also probably get an order to contribute a fair share. Start with title searches of all properties served by the road.
