Road Construction Accidents
Brief description
Road Construction Accidents
If you’ve driven through South Florida recently, chances are, you’ve driven through a road construction zone. (And by recently, we mean just about any time since 1945, especially at rush hour.) While the state is trying to help drivers by repairing or improving our roadways and infrastructure, these road construction projects can put motorists at risk for serious car accidents and other injuries.
Common Issues
Work zone hazards and road construction accidents are a significant problem in Florida, typically due to the negligence of the local government, construction company, workers, or the property manager. Common issues include:
01
Improper construction zone warning signs
02
Confusing construction detour signs
03
Forcing drivers to make unsafe detours
04
Dangerous construction equipment on the roadway
05
Hazardous pavement conditions
06
Defective medians or guardrails
07
Improper pedestrian crossings
08
Failing to maintain the completed roadway
A road construction accident can lead to serious, sometimes even fatal, injuries. The injured drivers can face thousands of dollars in property damage, medical bills, and lost income.
