Construction Zone Accident FAQ
Q: I Crashed While Driving Through a Construction Zone – What Should I Do?
After crashing your vehicle while driving through a work or construction zone, you should take the following action:
- Remain Calm and Get Out of Any Immediate Danger – It may feel like a lot is happening in the moments after your crash, but try your best to remain calm and relaxed so that you can assess the situation. Because your accident occurred in a construction zone, there may be dangerous materials, tools, or machinery nearby. Do not get out of your vehicle until you have determined that it is safe to do so.
- Call the Police – Call 9-11 and stay at the scene of the work zone crash until they arrive. Make a note of the names and badge numbers of the officers who arrive and ask for a copy of the police report that will be filed.
- Take Pictures and Gather Information from the Accident Scene – You are likely to forget details about the crash, even if they seem seared into your memory right after the accident. Take pictures of the work zone, construction workers, any warning signs or objects used to signal that there is construction, vehicle damage, and injuries and email them to yourself or a trusted relative so that you will not lose them. Note any information that the pictures do not capture. Gather the name, address, date of birth, and telephone number from any other drivers or people involved in the accident.
- Seek Emergency Medical Treatment – Many accident victims do not realize that they are hurt or the full extent of their injuries until much later. Even if you feel okay, you should seek emergency medical right away to avoid to begin your road to recovery right away and avoid making your injuries worse.
- Notify Your Insurance Company – You should report your accident to your insurance company right away. Don’t rely on another driver who says they will report it to their own insurance company.
- Collect and Save Documents and Reports – Save any report, log, record, decision, recommendation, letter, or other document you receive in connection with your injuries, insurance claim, or your employment status.
- Contact an Experienced Car, Truck, or Accident Lawyer – A Munley Law Personal Injury Attorneys Accident Lawyer is ready to discuss your case and the amount you deserve based on your construction zone injuries.
