jared batsonAfter a construction zone accident, you need the help of an experiencedroad construction accident lawyer.
The need for legal representation after any kind of accident is universal; however, after a road construction accident, this is especially true. You will most likely be up against a government agency of some sort, which means the other side will have vast legal resources available to them.
You Need an Accident Lawyer
You will need an attorney who is experienced in filing lawsuits against government agencies, knows how the process works, and can ensure that your rights are protected at all times.
A qualified road construction accident lawyer can do all of this, and we will work diligently to make sure you are treated fairly, regardless of who is responsible for your accident.
Evaluating Shared Fault Rules
The concept of negligence will be critical to your case. Under California shared fault rules, it’s possible for both parties to be partially responsible for an accident.
This means that if you were in an accident because a construction zone was not properly marked or safety precautions were not taken, you could still be partially to blame for the wreck depending on your actions.
Determining Your Speed Prior to the Accident
If you were not following the posted construction zone speed limits, you could be partially at fault.
While the maximum speed limit on a California highway is sixty-five miles per hour, you are required to drive slower in a construction zone.
If you were driving at a reckless speed for the road conditions at the time of your accident, you could be partially to blame for it. Your final settlement award will then be reduced accordingly. For example, if you were found to be responsible for 30 percent of the negligence, your final settlement amount would then be reduced by 30 percent.
We Work to Prove That You Were Not to Blame for the Accident
Our job is to build a strong case for why you were not at fault for the accident. In order to receive maximum compensation, you’ll need the sound legal advice of a road construction accident lawyer.
Common Causes of Road Construction Accidents
- Improperly marked construction zones
- Inadequate warning to move out of the way or change lanes
- Road crews improperly directing traffic
- Physical road conditions unfit to drive on
- Being hit by heavy equipment or machinery
- Rear-ended by a distracted driver
You Can File a Lawsuit Prior to Recovering
There is a statute of limitations that sets a clear time frame for how long you have to file a lawsuit after being in an accident. This time limit is only two years from the date of your injury.
With government entities, however, the time frame is much shorter—just six months. As a government agency will likely be involved in an accident case involving road construction, you will need to take action as soon as possible.
This means you cannot afford to wait until after fully recovering to file suit. It is better for you to file the lawsuit and make adjustments later as new information is revealed regarding your health.
