Holding Construction Companies Liable for Negligence in Round Rock Auto Accidents

Round Rock saw nearly 8 auto collisions a day in 2022, according to the Texas Department of Transportation. Negligence in construction zone accidents is one of the most common causes of such accidents, and construction workers operating heavy machinery can cause terrible injuries for victims. The Round Rock injury attorneys at Carabin Shaw have fought for the justice that auto collision victims deserve for over thirty years and, if you or a loved one have been in a construction auto collision, we are ready to fight for the compensation you are owed.

Our trusted attorneys offer a free case review to accident victims who were caught in a construction-zone collision. Through this consultation, we will help you to understand all the options you have for pursuing compensation and holding construction companies liable through Round Rock Tx accident liability laws.

In Texas, the at-fault driver is the party proven to be most liable for damages that the accident caused. Legal action against construction companies holds the driver responsible for your accident liable, meaning that they or the company is responsible for compensating victims for the damages they suffered.

Liability is determined on a case-by-case basis, meaning no injury claim is the same as any other. The trusted attorneys at Carabin Shaw will work to help you prove the construction driver’s fault by investigating the scene of the accident and communicating with insurance companies.

Round Rock personal injury claims are based on “comparative fault,” or proportionate responsibility, in the Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code. This means that, so long as a victim is not 51% or more at fault for the collision, they are owed compensation. In many cases, insurance companies will work to place fault on the victim to avoid paying damage caused by the construction driver.

Our team has supported auto collision injury victims for over three decades. In that time, we have won the resources and experience necessary to guarantee that construction companies will not shift the blame onto you or your loved ones after an accident in order to protect their bottom line.

Typically, construction workers and site owners implement various precautions to ensure no one is harmed while driving through a construction zone. However, no two construction zones are the same and any form of negligence can lead to the need for a personal injury lawyer. Negligence most commonly includes

• Distracted driving
• Ignoring lane markers and safety cones
• Ignoring cautionary signage
• Driving inebriated
• Construction workers operating poorly maintained machinery

At Carabin Shaw, we offer our services on a contingency-fee basis, so it costs you nothing to schedule a case review to learn if a construction driver can be held liable for your collision.

Ultimately, any personal injury case result depends on the victim's ability to prove negligence on the part of the at-fault driver. This means:

1. Proving that the driver owed you a level of safety
2. Proving that the driver failed to uphold that duty of safety
3. Proving that your injuries were a direct result of the driver’s negligence in those regards

Managing any personal injury case is a struggle for victims, let alone a claim where the at-fault party has the resources of construction company insurance adjusters behind them. Visit Carabin Shaw reviews to see how we can help you to build your strongest case and win your maximum compensation.

After a devastating construction collision injury, you and your loved ones deserve to work alongside experts who will prioritize your best interests at every possible moment.
