Who Can Be Held Liable?
The following parties may be liable for your construction zone accident:
- Negligent drivers
- Trucking companies whose drivers ignore work zone safety
- Construction contractors, if signage or barriers are improperly placed
- State or municipal agencies responsible for roadway maintenance
However, no matter who is liable for your construction zone accident, you deserve compensation. Compensation may cover damages such as medical expenses, rehabilitation, and long-term care, as well as lost income and diminished earning capacity. Victims may also be entitled to damages for pain, suffering, and emotional distress, while families who have lost a loved one can pursue wrongful death compensation.
