Construction Site Negligence
Whether it is in the form of closed lanes, an urban building project, or an outright detour, construction is typically the cause of some inconvenience. In addition, there are usually additional rules that drivers and pedestrians have to follow when they encounter construction zones, such as slowing down or crossing the street to use another walkway. Despite these measures, people are hurt and cars are damaged every year because of construction-related accidents.
Often these accidents come as a result of negligence. It is the responsibility of construction companies to make sure that their workers follow specific protocols to keep roads and sidewalks clear and safe.

- No barricades between drivers and roadway construction zones
- Debris that is not cleared from a roadway or sidewalk
- Machinery on or near a road or sidewalk
Constriction is essential to the growth and maintenance of society’s infrastructure. All the same, it is the responsibility of construction crews and companies to perform their work safely.
