Construction Zones are Dangerous
While traffic in general is more controlled and often flowing at a slower pace through construction zones, there are also increased distractions and obstacles that can lead to serious accidents. A common problem is a lack of adequate signs and instructions for drivers unfamiliar with the new road design. In other cases, uneven road grades or unpainted lanes lead to construction accidents.
What these issues all have in common is the fact that they can be easily prevented. There is no excuse for negligence by construction crews who fail to display proper signs or properly paint temporary lanes. Likewise, traffic should not be allowed to travel on roads with significant drop offs due to uneven road grades.
If you feel that negligence played a role in your construction zone accident, contact our firm today for a free consultation.
