Legal Help for Roadside Construction Accidents in California

Roadside construction zones are critical for maintaining California’s vast network of highways and local roads. However, these work sites often present serious hazards to both workers and the general public. Poor signage, inadequate barriers, negligent contractors, or careless drivers can all contribute to devastating accidents. At California Trial Law Group, PC, we represent victims injured in or near construction zones and fight to ensure they receive justice.

The Dangers of Roadside Construction Zones

Whether you’re a construction worker, pedestrian, or motorist, work zones pose unique and often severe risks. Common causes of roadside construction accidents include:

Improper traffic control or signage
Speeding drivers through work zones
Equipment malfunctions or operator errors
Unmarked open trenches or uneven surfaces
Falling debris or unsecured materials
Inadequate lighting or visibility at night

Such conditions frequently lead to serious accidents, including vehicle collisions, falls, struck-by injuries, or electrocutions.

Who Can Be Held Liable?

Roadside construction zones often involve multiple parties, each with a duty to maintain a safe environment. Determining liability can be complex, especially when:

A government agency fails to post proper warnings or traffic controls
A contractor or subcontractor ignores safety protocols
A property owner or manager fails to address known hazards
A third-party driver causes a collision in or near the work site

At California Trial Law Group, we conduct thorough investigations to identify every liable party and ensure accountability.

Injured as a Worker? You May Have Multiple Legal Options

If you are a construction worker injured on the job, you may be eligible for workers' compensation benefits under California law. These benefits typically include:

Medical treatment and hospitalization
Temporary or permanent disability payments
Vocational rehabilitation

In addition to workers' compensation, if a third party (not your employer) contributed to your injuries—such as a negligent equipment manufacturer or reckless driver—you may also have a personal injury claim for further damages like pain and suffering or loss of future earnings.

Injured as a Civilian? You Still Have Rights

Motorists or pedestrians injured in construction zones also have legal rights. Whether the injury occurred due to unsafe road conditions, a lack of warnings, or a collision with construction equipment, our legal team is equipped to pursue compensation through a personal injury lawsuit.

We seek damages for:

Medical expenses (past and future)
Lost wages and reduced earning ability
Emotional distress
Pain and suffering
Long-term disability or disfigurement
