Roadwork Construction Accident LawyerÂ
Representing Victims of Roadway Construction Accidents in Jacksonville, FLÂ
A crash at a roadwork site may not only be caused by the construction site itself; it could be caused by a street that requires repairs. Either way, these hazards can lead to one-car crashes, traffic collisions, and rolling your truck or SUV. This may result in serious head injuries, facial injuries, brain trauma or other types of severe injury.
The clock starts ticking when you're injured in a construction zone crash. Whether you were hurt by human error, poor road design or confusing signs, you may have a case and must act fast before your rights to compensation disappear. Investigation into your crash must start immediately. Evidence disappears quickly – roadwork is completed and signs are removed. If that happens, your crash case could be over before it even begins.Â

Since these cases are complex, you want an attorney with expertise representing you.

Causes of Car Accidents in Construction Zones
Reduced Visibility and Confusing Lane Changes:
Construction zones often have narrowed lanes, temporary barriers, and altered traffic patterns. These changes can reduce visibility and create confusion for drivers, especially during lane merges or shifts.
Large Vehicles in Construction Zones
Road construction requires heavy machinery such as excavators, bulldozers, and dump trucks. These vehicles are difficult to drive safely, and a collision with cars can lead to serious injury or death.
Road Surface Conditions:
Road surface conditions, including uneven pavement or debris, further endangers drivers, especially during adverse weather.
