Road Construction Zone Accidents

Construction zones can pose a range of hazards for drivers, and for large commercial trucks, which often become confined in small spaces, these zones can be particularly dangerous. If you or a loved one has been in an accident involving a large truck in a construction zone.

We at 844 See Mike are here for you every step of the way to ensure that your rights are protected and you are fully compensated for your injuries and losses, and this includes working with the insurance company on your behalf to ensure a favorable settlement.

Between 2007 and 2011, nearly 1,000 people lost their lives in accidents in construction zones which involved a large truck or bus, according to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA). In 2010 alone, over 87,000 total auto accidents occurred in construction zones, resulting in nearly 600 fatalities, and about one-in-four fatalities involved a large truck. Construction zones typically involve lane-closures and narrower driving spaces, and here are some statistics about construction zone accidents from 2008:

• About 60% of the accidents studied occurred during the day, and about 40% at night;
• About 31% of the accidents studied involved speeding;
• About 22% of the fatal accidents studied occurred on interstates.

Driver-error on the part of the truck driver is a common cause of large truck accidents and is sometimes influenced by fatigue, distraction, intoxication, or a combination of these. However, those responsible for maintaining the construction zone may also be at-fault for the accident due to unnecessary obstructions, improper signage, or other forms of negligence. Our experienced personal injury attorneys will thoroughly investigate the circumstances of the accident to determine which parties are legally liable and ensure that you are fully compensated for the damages you’ve sustained.
