Potential Causes of Florida Construction Zone Accidents
Construction zone accidents can be caused by:
- Improper warning signs
- Uneven pavement
- Standing water
- Poorly marked intersections
- Negligence on the part of flag men or women
- Barriers and guardrails that were not marked correctly
Another common occurrence is that other drivers fail to heed warning signs or fail to slow down. This type of negligence can lead to rollovers, head-on collisions and rear-end collisions that inflict devastating injuries and even death.
The Skill and Resources to Handle Tough Cases
If your construction zone accident resulted from improper warnings or one of the other causes mentioned above, chances are that your case will be against a government entity, like the Department of Transportation, or a large private company, like an engineering firm.
This can make the case highly complex. Florida construction zone accident attorney Steven Wingo and his dedicated staff often work with accident reconstructionists, former DOT officials and other experts to help build cases. You can rely on this firm to unravel the complexities, determine who was at fault and work diligently to obtain full and fair compensation on your behalf.
