Construction Zone Accident in St. Louis
Construction Zone Injury Claim - Call 314.448.0934 or 866.840.3636 Construction zones are a dangerous environment for both workers and drivers. Road construction is necessary to prevent further accidents which could have resulted from deteriorating roadways. Construction zones are usually very well marked, providing drivers with advanced warning to slow down and take caution. Unfortunately some drivers failure to adjust attention and speed when they enter into a construction zone, causing a serious car accident resulting in injuries. Victims may be entitled to compensation by filing a construction zone injury claim.
Another potential contributing factor to causes of construction zone accidents is the construction itself. Changes in pavement grades and potholes can create a hazard that even the most cautious of drivers cannot avoid. The Missouri Department of Transportation and Roadways & Highways has the responsibility of creating and maintaining safe roads for us all to travel on. When construction zones are unreasonably dangerous due to the hazards presented, agencies of the state of Missouri may be held partially or totally responsible for the cause of the car crash.

- Past medical bills
- Future medical bills
- Past lost wages
- Future lost wages
