Construction Zone Accident

Texas is booming. Communities across the state are growing as new businesses open up and people move to the state looking for new opportunities. More people means more traffic, and the state has been struggling to keep up with the need for new roads and highways.

You’ve probably noticed a lot of road work going on in your area. But construction sites on the highway can be dangerous for both motorists and road workers. There are up to 1000 active work zones on our highways at a given time, and it’s no surprise that Texas leads the nation in work zone fatalities. In fact, 186 Texans died in work zone accidents in a recent year.

Give our Dallas car accident lawyers a call today at (214) 295-1008 if you are a driver or road worker who was seriously injured in a construction zone accident.

Most victims of construction zone accidents are law-abiding drivers who were injured due to the negligence of another person. People who drive carelessly in a work zone are a serious threat to the safety of construction zone workers and other drivers.

There’s less room to maneuver in a work zone, and barricades and closed lanes create additional hazards. That’s why it’s essential for all drivers to slow down and be extra careful as soon as they see signs informing them that there’s a work zone up ahead. Ignoring these signs can be deadly.
