Driving on a highway always involves some risk; however, a construction zone makes the highway even more dangerous. Vehicle drivers and construction workers employed by independent contractors can both be seriously injured in highway construction accidents.

​

Some of the most common reasons highway construction accidents occur include:

​

• The construction company failing to properly mark off lane changes

• Failing to post signs warning drivers of dangerous conditions ahead

• Failing to post barricades around a construction hazard

• Drivers not having enough time to avoid colliding with a slow-moving dump truck or forklift coming out of a highway construction zone

• Drivers being temporarily blinded by high-wattage lighting on the construction site

• Drivers colliding with equipment or machinery that was placed outside of the marked construction zone

• A construction worker being struck by a vehicle due to not having safety barriers between the road and the construction zone

• Other unsafe conditions at the highway worksite, such as oil slicks, water spills, unsafe scaffolding, etc.
