Construction sites are some of the most accident-prone and dangerous locations you can come across. Roadwork specifically is one of the leading causes of construction related incidents. The intersection of I-35 and 18th Street has been associated with many Waco TX Road Construction Accidents. Its non-stop construction projects have turned it into one of the most dangerous roads in the city.
Construction sites are inherently hazardous, but there is still a responsibility to keep the entire area safe for workers and innocent bystanders. If you or a loved one was injured due to negligence at a construction site, you have rights and options. Waco personal injury attorneys at Carabin Shaw are here to guide you through the next steps. We offer our services on a contingency-fee basis, so you don’t pay a thing until your case is won.
Who Is Responsible for Your Injury?Personal injury accidents are confusing as is, but when an incident is involved with a construction zone it can become even more complex. Generally, there are multiple parties involved in a construction project (such as a property owner, subcontractor, and site manager) and it can be complicated to determine which party or parties are at fault. An attorney will conduct a thorough investigation of your accident and make sure the right people are held accountable.
Texas follows a modified comparative fault system, meaning personal injury liability is assigned to negligent parties by percentage and can be split between multiple factions. For example, Party “A” is 30% at fault and Party “B” is 70% at fault. A plaintiff can only recover damages if they are less than 51 percent responsible for the accident. If they are partially responsible, their compensation will be reduced by that percentage.
