Construction Zone Accidents
Work / Construction Zone Accident Lawyer
Roadway construction is so prevalent that it is estimated that the majority of our population travels through a highway construction zone at least once every day. This results in traffic congestion. As congestion builds, crash rates increase.
In addition, the demands for rehabilitating highways, increased mobility, and safety have resulted in more highway construction projects being conducted at night when travelers tend to drive at higher speeds. These factors significantly increase the exposure of the traveling public, highway workers, and pedestrians to construction zone hazards.
Accidents in work zones can be caused by a variety of factors, including:
- Construction zone areas that are unclearly marked,
- Failure to provide proper personnel to control traffic in work zone areas
- Improper placement of barricades, signs, and other traffic control devices
- Drivers who are unsure of construction zone traffic control directions
If you or a loved one were injured in a construction zone auto accident, contact a Florida construction zone accident attorney for your free consultation.
