Road Construction Accidents in Victoria Texas

Of the many personal injury accidents that an individual can experience, auto accidents are among the most common, and most devastating, in Victoria, Texas. Road maintenance and construction makes such accidents even more common and far more dangerous, especially when those accidents involve drivers for the construction company and their larger equipment. If you have been in an accident in a construction zone, and a company driver was at fault for your injuries and damages, Victoria attorneys at Carabin Shaw are ready to help you fight for the compensation that you are owed.

While auto accidents are rarely without significant damages, accidents that involve construction vehicles can be far more devastating. The disparity in size, weight, and load between a construction vehicle and passenger vehicle means that the passenger vehicles will almost always suffer far greater damages. This is only one of the many reasons that working alongside car accident lawyers in Victoria is a vital aspect of obtaining your maximum compensation. Our attorneys are experts in the construction laws within Victoria, and are familiar with the expectations that construction companies and site managers are required to meet.

Our lawyers have over thirty years of collective experience fighting for personal injury victims in Texas. Hiring a lawyer with Carabin Shaw means working alongside an expert who will help you to file your claim, communicate with insurance companies, and navigate the liability and laws of fault that surround a construction zone auto accident.

While auto accidents can happen for any number of reasons alone, combining them with a construction zone creates even higher risks of harm. Many causes of road construction accidents come down to poor lane management on the part of site managers or unsafe driving on the part of construction zone workers. However, those are only two of the many factors that can cause a construction zone auto accident.

Within a construction zone, it is the duty of site managers and workers to provide clear signs and directions regarding the modified lanes. Failure to do so is one of the main causes of auto accidents in construction zones, as passenger vehicle drivers struggle to understand where they can safely drive while construction site drivers navigate separately from those signs. A simple misunderstanding can lead to a devastating collision.

Liability can be difficult to navigate alone in such cases, but working with a Victoria Tx injury lawyer at Carabin Shaw will guarantee that you have the information and resources necessary to build your strongest case.

As with any auto accident, distracted driving is an incredible threat to the safety of other drivers. This is especially true for construction site drivers who operate large and dangerous machinery. Fatigue, intoxication, and general lack of attention are common causes of distracted driving accidents.

It is the duty of site workers to ensure that designated paths are clear of any obstructions. Fallen signs or cones, construction debris, and abandoned machinery can all block the safest paths for passenger vehicles to navigate. These obstructions, combined with the general confusion that construction zones can create, make it difficult for civilian drivers to avoid other vehicles reasonably.
