Construction area crashes often involve:

​​

• Narrow and shifting lanes, sudden detours, or abrupt lane closures.

• Heavy machinery and site vehicles moving unpredictably in active traffic.

• Reduced speed limits and unclear signage, especially at night or in poor conditions.

• Road workers, whose presence increases risk for both motorists and pedestrians.

 

With these obstacles, injuries can be severe, and determining who’s at fault isn’t always straightforward. Assigning liability may involve several parties: drivers, construction firms, equipment manufacturers, or even government agencies in charge of roadwork.

Taking the right steps immediately after an accident helps protect your rights:

 

• Check for injuries and call emergency services if needed.

• Move to safety if possible, staying clear of hazards and traffic.

• Contact law enforcement for an official accident report.

• Gather information from drivers, witnesses, the construction company, and get photos of the scene, signage, and vehicle damage.

• Speak with an attorney before talking in detail to insurance adjusters or giving recorded statements.

Liability might rest with:

 

• Another driver who acted negligently.

• The construction company, if work zones are poorly designed, insufficiently marked, or workers acted carelessly.

• Public agencies, if they failed to ensure safe construction site conditions.

• Manufacturers, for equipment failures causing or contributing to the accident.

​
