Construction Site Negligence and Driving
When construction occurs on and around highways, these construction sites can present several dangers for drivers, cyclists, and pedestrians. Although municipal duty requires that highways and roadways are properly maintained over time, construction sites tend to cause both distractions and physical hazards for unsuspecting drivers. If a driver is injured because of construction site negligence, he or she may be eligible for financial compensation.
If you or someone you know has suffered an injury because of construction site obstructions or dangers, you may be entitled to compensation for your pain as well as for the expenses directly related to the accident.

Common Dangers from Construction Site Negligence
Construction sites inherently hinder traffic and cause back-ups, but they can also pose dangers that can cause devastating car accidents. Some of the common hazards that construction sites pose for drivers include:
- Uneven pavement / potholes
- Absence of signs
- Lack of guardrails
- Higher-than-normal pedestrian traffic
- Large / heavy equipment on the road
- Falling objects
- Debris on the roadway
All of these situations can cause serious injury accidents involving one or more vehicles, which can cost hundreds of thousands of dollars in treatment and repair costs.
