0 Comments

 
Tragically, a motorcyclist was killed yesterday evening as he was exiting an Iowa construction zone. According to witnesses, the motorcyclist collided with a minivan while trying to move out of the way of another car attempting to pass him when the roadway opened back into two lanes.

Car Accidents in Construction Zones

Unfortunately, accidents in and around construction zones such as this are all too common. According to the NHTSA, there were over 67,000 work zone crashes nationwide in 2013 alone, resulting in hundreds of fatalities.

Some of the Causes of Construction Zone Car Accidents in Iowa can include:
  • Poorly Designed or Placed Signs/Broken or Absent Signs
  • Improperly Placed, Broken or Missing Barricades
  • Construction Debris on the Road
  • Unmarked Road Grade Changes
  • Decreased Visibility
  • Road Rage
  • Aggressive Drivers
  • Distracted Drivers
  • Reckless Driving
  • Construction Zone Worker Negligence

If you or a family member is injured in a motor vehicle accident in or near a construction site in Iowa, you should speak with an experienced personal injury lawyer to determine fault in the accident. It may be the fault of another driver or it could also be that the construction company or a subcontractor is responsible.

Working with experts, the Law Offices of John T Hemminger can help to reconstruct the accident to prove precisely how it was caused and who is responsible so that a just resolution can be obtained.
