As the process of widening Interstate 44 at Lewis Avenue continues, we must remember to abide by all traffic laws for these construction zones and all construction zones alike. These areas are not only dangerous for drivers, but are also dangerous for construction workers. Construction zone accident victims may be eligible to file a personal injury lawsuit against the negligent party. The Edwards Law Firm is available to assist those that have injured in construction zone accidents with their legal claims.
In 2011, the Oklahoma Highway Safety Office reported nearly 2,000 crashes in work zones, injuring 675 people. Accidents in construction zones are often caused by a number of factors including; exceeding the speed limit, disobeying temporary traffic signs, merging issues, and drivers being distracted.
The overall $360 million road construction project is expected to be completed by the end of 2013. The structure is 1.25 miles long, extends 30 feet underground, and contains almost 35,000 cubic yards of concrete and nearly six million pounds of steel. This serves as a huge drainage structure for the complete corridor.
Individuals injured in Tulsa construction zone accidents may be eligible for financial and legal recourse.
