St. Louis Road Construction Site Negligence Attorneys
Road construction projects and construction sites adjacent to a roadway can prove to be a serious hazard for motorists. With heavy machinery and massive vehicles carrying or maneuvering large materials, a single mistake can prove catastrophic for passing traffic. These accidents can cause serious damage to a motor vehicle and are likely to result in severe injuries for the occupants of an affected automobile. Troublingly, these represent only a portion of the potential dangers that may arise due to the negligence of a construction company or its employees.

Construction Site Hazards
Workers assigned to road construction projects need to ensure their work occurs within the cordoned off construction zone. A construction worker working on an open section of road endangers themselves and any motorists driving by. A motorist may be injured because of the following construction-related hazards:
- Tools left in the road
- Materials or debris left in the road
- Failure to yield to roadway traffic
- Workers working outside clearly marked construction zones
- Failure to operate heavy machinery correctly
- Failure to adequately secure a load
