Winston-Salem Construction Zone Accident Attorneys
North Carolina Highway Construction Accidents
Road construction zones can present many challenges and frustrations. However, congested traffic, detour delays, and the blatant disregard of some drivers to adhere to construction zone traffic laws can never amount to the devastation felt by accident victims and their families when a truck driver fails to recognize an upcoming congested construction zone until it is too late.
At Comerford & Britt, we empathize with accident victims and their families as they deal with the aftermath of a serious or fatal highway construction accident. Our Winston-Salem construction zone accident lawyers help clients obtain answers, pursue justice, and obtain peace of mind following a serious or fatal crash. Contact our attorneys for a consultation to discuss your situation.
Our law firm is adept to handling construction zone accident cases involving a number of complex issues:
- Dump trucks, sanitation trucks or construction vehicles that suddenly cut into traffic without warning
- Inadequate signage that fails to properly warn drivers of an impending construction zone
- Truck driver negligence that causes the truck driver to collide with near standstill traffic
Additionally, we investigate other issues such as potential brake defects that extended a tractor-trailer's stop time or improper loading/imbalanced trailer loads that contributed to the rollover of the semi truck.
Promptly Investigating Construction Zone Accidents
Prompt investigation and the evidence preservation are pivotal to the success of construction zone and highway traffic accident litigation. Construction companies, commercial trucking companies, insurance adjusters, and others will immediately accompany the police and emergency responders at the accident scene. Little time is needed before commercial businesses are controlling the accident scene, influencing the description of the accident made in the police report, and in some manner deflecting liability for the accident and resulting injuries or fatalities.
An advantage offered by Comerford & Britt is our ability to travel on short notice to remote accident scenes in our airplane. Needless delays are eliminated and we are capable of beginning our accident investigation immediately — maximizing our client's interest in recovering the compensation to which they are entitled for trucking accident injury damages or wrongful death damages.
