Work zones on major highways like I-95 often present additional hazards for drivers, including narrowed lanes, sudden stops, and shifting traffic patterns. According to the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), accidents in work zones are more likely to result in injuries due to the combination of heavy equipment, reduced speeds, and congested conditions.
Drivers are urged to exercise heightened caution in construction areas by reducing speed, following posted signage, and maintaining safe distances from other vehicles. These practices are essential for protecting both motorists and workers on site.
Victims of work zone accidents frequently face unique challenges, including increased financial and emotional stress. Consulting with legal and medical professionals can help injured parties navigate the complexities of their recovery and pursue compensation for damages.
