Automobile accidents occur far too frequently and statistics show that most accidents occur within five miles from the home. People drive to and from work and recreation every day, but when you get into your familiar neighborhood, the tendency is to take those surroundings for granted. Some of the reasons for accidents and tickets are obvious to seasoned drivers with 30 or more years driving, but younger drivers don't have that experience, and all drivers have weak spots where they need to be extra cautious.
Road construction causes many accidents every year. One cause of accidents is failure of the construction company to properly control the flow of traffic to accommodate the changed road conditions due to construction. A second cause of accidents is driver error in adjusting to these changes in the road conditions. A third cause is roadway hazards caused by the construction. No matter who is at fault, it is important to discuss your case with an attorney to evaluate whether you may be eligible for compensation.
