Roadside Construction Negligence
City and state agencies are often responsible for maintaining and improving the streets, roads, and highways. Some large-scale projects can take a significant amount of time, forcing companies to leave vehicles and construction material on-site while they attempt to complete the project. Unfortunately, failure to properly store or warn oncoming drivers of the presence of construction equipment or vehicles may result in serious accidents and injuries.
It is the responsibility of project workers and managers to make sure that construction equipment does not endanger other drivers on the roadway, and failure to do so may result in a personal injury lawsuit for negligence.

Accidents Caused by Roadside Construction
Persons may suffer injuries in a collision or other type of event if construction companies commit errors such as:
- Failure to remove equipment or vehicles from the roadway
- Failure to signal roadwork being performed
- Failure to give adequate notice of roadwork being performed
- Leaving construction materials or debris in the roadway
- Causing damage to high-traffic areas
- Failure to use proper signage to alert drivers of construction sites
In order to prove negligence on the part of a construction company, an experienced attorney may be able to show that:
- The company had a duty to protect you from injury
- The company failed in that duty by putting you at risk
- You were injured in an accident
- The accident was caused by the construction company’s actions or failure to act
