If you have been involved in an accident resulting from negligent road construction, you may lodge a suit against the City or construction firm to compensate for your injuries and damages. There might be many mistakes in road construction that may lead to accidents resulting in severe injuries.

Victims of these accidents may bring an action against the construction firm and often against the city for negligently constructing the lane. We’re going to address some of those common errors in road construction that may cause injuries and the form of litigation that victims may file.

Improper Signage

The legislation stipulates that drivers should be warned thoroughly with correct signage. The city is well aware of the kinds of signs and the number, and where they should be placed on the construction location. If the construction firm does not use the proper warning sign to warn passengers, the situation may result in an accident.

Notify motorists of too sharp a turn

When too sharp turns come suddenly and your vehicle in on high speed, it will cause an accident and it could be very dangerous. So, the construction firm or municipality should avoid such instances by notifying motorists of too sharp a turn ahead.

Uneven Pavements

When road construction is going on, the construction firm or municipality in charge may leave a dangerous condition in the pavement that may cause an accident. If an irregular surface and unmarked triggers cause an accident, they should be held accountable. Unsafe pavement conditions include any two or more inch ridge that is not marked correctly or a slick surface where drivers should be warned about the speed reduction.

Poor Road Construction

After the road construction has been finished, there could be a traffic accident because the job has been poorly performed. If this happens, the “owner” of the road can be claimed.  Many of these cases happen due to inadequate maintenance rather than careless construction.

Hire an attorney to file a claim

To seek compensation, the injured person has to prove negligence. If you are unable to prove the negligence, get in touch with some car accident lawyers and choose the best one. The attorney can easily prove in the court that the accident was happened due to the negligence of the Construction Company during the road construction if there is any. It is necessary to hire a lawyer, who has much awareness about the complexities of the Ontario law and can ensure that the victims are compensated reasonably.
