A construction zone accident is any accident that takes place at or near a construction zone. Construction workers do not need to be working or present at the time of the accident. Liability for a construction zone accident sometimes falls on the construction company, another driver, or even a combination of the two.

Construction companies may be liable for an accident caused by:

• Failure to follow federal and state guidelines for safe roadway construction
• Poor construction zone design
• Failure to post adequate warning signs
• Detour and warning signs are inaccurate or not visible
• Improper placement of vehicles, barricades or signs
• Failure to properly light the roadway
• Creating roads that are not level or are damaged
• Faulty traffic control

When other drivers are the cause of construction zone accidents, the reason is often distracted driving. When drivers are not paying attention, they may do the following:

• Ignoring construction cones and signs
• Fail to see stopped vehicles ahead
• Approach a work zone too fast to slow down
• Fail to merge
• Fail heed warning signs
• Fail to observe construction speed limits

Every driver understands that roadways need repairs. However, when negligent parties fail to protect drivers from danger, they could owe for the injuries they cause. The amount of compensation and the types of damages available vary, but may include:

• Medical bills, including emergency room visits, surgery, various therapies, physicians, medications, and medical supplies
• Personal care or assistance with daily personal needs
• Physical, emotional, and mental pain and suffering
• Scarring, disfigurement, impairment, or disability
• Future damages for the ongoing loss of income and medical care
• Lost wage
