Construction on New York roads can make driving dangerous. Drivers are at a greater risk of being injured in a crash when traveling through a work zone, although many of these crashes can be prevented by a careful organization and monitoring of the worksite.

If you or someone you love has been injured in a road construction accident, you may have a right to compensation for your injuries. Contact the knowledgeable and seasoned Bronx work zone accident lawyers at the Kohn Law Firm for help getting the money you deserve after a crash.

Construction zones are the sites of hundreds of accidents every year

Construction is necessary to keep roads in good condition, but when road construction projects aren’t carefully managed, drivers can get badly hurt. According to the US Department of Transportation, construction zone accidents injured 200,000 people, killing 4,400, over the last five years. The most common accident in a work zone is a rear-end crash, resulting from the leading vehicle stopping or slowing as it approached a hazard caused by the construction project.

Construction zones are common sites for car accidents for many reasons, including:

Merging vehicles: Construction trucks and vehicles such as backhoes and loaders may need to exit or enter the site using the neighboring road. If workers do not give appropriate notice to drivers passing by, this can lead to a crash.
Loose gravel or debris in the road: The debris generated by a construction site often includes materials that could cause a crash for drivers if it is allowed to spill out into nearby roads. Dangerous debris could include scraps of wood, sheet metal, or loose gravel, for example.
Damage to the road from trucks and heavy equipment: When construction projects have been long or involved lots of heavy equipment, neighboring roads often end up rutted or marred by potholes that can cause vehicles, especially motorcycles, to swerve and crash.
Distracted drivers: When drivers aren’t paying full attention to the road ahead, they may not notice that traffic has slowed down ahead of them, causing them to rear-end another driver or stop or swerve abruptly.
