Construction Site Negligence and Car Accidents
There are many driving and road hazards–such as inclement weather–that cannot be avoided and any resulting injury or death cannot be attributed to any person’s negligence. But there are many other hazards which are the direct result of the negligence of another person or entity. This is the case with construction sites on the road that are not properly maintained or marked.
Road construction can cause serious car accidents if the proper safety steps are not taken by the construction crew or the company authorizing the construction. If you or someone you love has been seriously injured in a car accident involving a construction site which was not properly marked or maintained for safety, contact the Green Bay car accident lawyers of Habush Habush & Rottier S.C. ® today at 800-242-2874.
Safety Infractions at Road Construction Sites
The following things can lead to serious accidents involving road construction sites:
- Little or no notification of lane closures or changes in advance of the construction site
- Insufficient lighting across the construction zones
- Poorly marked lanes
- No protective barriers enclosing the work zone
Drivers should be warned in advance of approaching construction zones. There should be adequate time for drivers to slow down in anticipation of this road hazard–particularly if the construction is on the highway.
