Houston Construction Negligence Attorneys
Although it is a necessary part of keeping a road in working order with high-volume traffic, roadway construction can produce nothing short of a headache for highway motorists. As lanes close, the speed of traffic can slow to a halt, grinding down to a pace that seems more like a stand-still. As annoying as this can be, construction sites near roadways can also be dangers to drivers. Many safety campaigns have been taken up to protect workers from passing drivers, but drivers must also be wary for their own safety through construction zones.
If you have been injured because of a negligent worker or roadway construction company, you may be eligible to pursue legal action. For assistance with your claim and a free consultation, contact the Houston construction negligence attorneys of Williams Kherkher by calling 832-369-8296.
Causes of Damage and Injury
With traffic moving next to them, it seems sometimes like construction workers barely notice the moving cars and trucks in the adjacent lanes. With construction work done next to a street, which may still cause the lane nearest to the curb to be blocked, workers may forget how close they actually are to motorists passing through. The following problems can arise from unwary construction workers:
- Collisions with careless machine operators
- Tire blowouts from discarded screws or nails
- Leaving tools and other materials in the road
- Flying debris or falling materials
- Lack of signs
