Causes Of Construction Zone Accidents
In a construction zone, care should be exercised by the construction crew and by drivers traveling through the zone. The following factors can contribute to causing an accident in a roadway work site:
- Heavy machinery
- Construction site vehicles
- Narrow lanes
- Lane pattern change
- Inadequate signage
- Worksite debris
- Speeding
- Careless driving
- Distracted driving
- Aggressive driving
These are just some of the things that can create the conditions that are ripe for a motor vehicle accident to occur.
Fault In Construction Zone Accidents
Your construction zone accident may have been ultimately caused by:
- Other drivers
- Heavy machinery operators
- The construction company responsible for the work zone
Workers who maintain and improve America's roadways are typically hard-working, well-trained people. These men and women have the dangerous job of working in the road while traffic continues to stream through. Nonetheless, it is sometimes a worker's negligence that leads to an auto accident.
For instance, a crane operator who is careless for even just a moment could cause a crane collision with a vehicle on the road. In other scenarios, the construction company could be responsible if they did not follow proper safety precautions at the worksite.
Other drivers are commonly a source of the car accidents that arise in construction zones. Failure to follow the posted speed limits and failure to exercise a little extra caution in these zones can lead to serious accidents. Even as a careful driver, you could become the victim of one of these accidents because of another driver's actions.
