Common Causes of Work Zone Accidents in San Antonio, TX

Work zone accidents can occur for many reasons, including:

• Unusual traffic patterns
• Machinery, equipment, and tools near the road, creating visibility issues and presenting a safety hazard
• Construction workers who are too close to vehicles
• Inadequate warning signs
• Unexpected directional changes
• Overly narrow roads
• Poor lighting
• Uneven roads or unsafe road conditions

It is important to determine the cause of these accidents, as that can affect the rights of those who are harmed. For example, if a construction worker is hurt or killed in a roadside accident, the worker would potentially be able to make a workers’ compensation claim in San Antonio due to the on-the-job injury if the employer participates in workers’ comp. 

However, if a careless driver is at fault, the construction worker may be able to recover broader compensation, including for pain and suffering, by pursuing a claim against the negligent driver.
