Construction Zone Accidents
Construction contractors must take precautions to ensure the safety of people passing through construction zones. Causes of construction zone accidents include:
- Equipment left on the roadway
- Collisions with construction vehicles
- Failure to signal oncoming motorists
- Faulty warning signs
Dangerous Roads
Flaws in the design or construction of a road can lead to accidents. Errors in gradient, placement of guard rails and construction of road shoulders are common road defects that can lead to truck and car accidents.
Tennessee Weather-Related Accident Lawyers
No one can be blamed for bad weather. However, acts of negligence combined with weather conditions can lead to serious car and truck accidents. In severe weather, the rules of the road change and drivers must adjust to dangerous road conditions.
Rain and fog limit visibility. Ice and snow make roads slippery. Hydroplaning is a common cause of accidents in heavy rainstorms. If you were injured by a motorist who was not paying heed to weather conditions, you may be able to pursue damages.
Road construction and weather can also join forces in creating hazardous roadways. Road design must accommodate foreseeable weather conditions. If a flaw in design creates flooding, erosion or another road hazard, it may be an act of negligence.
