Common Hazards in Construction Zones
Construction zone accidents happen for a number of different reasons, including:
- Uneven pavement creating dangerous drop-off of the roadway.
- Misplaced concrete barriers.
- Confusing lane markings.
- Warning signs that should have been erected.
Types of Collisions in Construction Zones
The most common type of collisions in construction zones are rear-end crashes occurring on roads with a speed greater than 50 miles per hour. These crashes involve more damage because of the speed involved.
Also, common are incidents caused when a distracted driver fails to notice an impending change in conditions like a road hazard, lane ending, or speed change.
The Federal Highway Administration reports that eighty-five percent of work zone fatalities involve drivers and passengers in vehicles—but constructions workers are in danger of succumbing to fatalities caused by run or backovers, getting hit by a car, being caught between accidents, or being struck by objects.
Damages Available
The potential damages available depend on whether you are a worker or a driver. Generally, a worker will have to go through workers’ compensation but in cases where the employer has been reckless with safety standards, there may be exceptions. It is always best to seek the advice of an experienced construction zone accident attorney in Tampa to make sure that you are getting all of the damages you may be entitled to from all of the negligent parties.
