(314) 500-HURTRoads and highways in the U.S. are a critical component of our transportation infrastructure. While it is necessary to maintain our
roadways, highway construction sites are dangerous and even deadly for both drivers and construction workers. It is
important for motorists to keep a proper lookout for construction zones and to adjust their driving accordingly, but
there are some circumstances that are beyond the average motorist’s control.
Construction companies are often found responsible for road construction zone accidents when:
It can be challenging to determine what parties are at fault for the construction zone accident. Liability depends on
the facts and circumstances of the accident, but common negligent parties in these types of accidents include the
construction company, equipment manufacturers, city, county, state or federal governments. There are often contracts
between construction companies and state or federal governments to predetermine how liability for accidents will be
handled by the insurance. A lawyer experienced with highway construction accidents will help you sort out the negligent
parties and who can be held accountable for your injuries.
Auto accidents that occur near highway construction zones are more complicated than the average car crash case. You should quickly consult with an experienced
attorney who is knowledgeable of the safety regulations governing construction zones so that the scene of the accident
can be investigated and important evidence is documented and preserved. If you have been involved in a road construction
accident, don’t delay. Call Burger Law today at (314) 542-2222 to have the legal questions about your accident answered.
