Road Construction Accidents

Kansas City Road Construction Accident Lawyers

Serving the Kansas City Metro Area

Road construction sites are hazardous places to work; they are even more dangerous for motorists and pedestrians passing by. In 2004, the Insurance Journal reported that at least 80% of people who are injured in road construction accidents are motorists. At Dempsey Kingsland Osteen, our attorneys assist clients who were injured in accidents at roadway construction sites. We also file wrongful death claims for clients whose loved ones died in this type of motor vehicle accident.

Examples of Kansas City Road Repair Accidents

Common causes of highway construction accidents include:

• Drivers speeding in violation of posted construction zone limits or too fast for conditions
• Motorists failing to follow signs and instructions about lane closures, detours, and merging
• Distracted drivers
• Drunk drivers
• Tired drivers
• Defective construction equipment caused by manufacturing defects or poor maintenance
• Failing to post adequate warnings

Our road construction accident attorneys in Kansas City have many years of experience handling complex motor vehicle crash cases. This is particularly important in road construction matters because there may be multiple defendants, including public entities such as cities, counties, or states.
