Salt Lake City Road Construction Accident Lawyer

CASE EVALUATIONS ARE FAST, EASY, AND FREE.

It’s a simple truth that most areas where road construction is taking place are inherently hazardous to drive through.

When the agencies or companies responsible for road construction fail to take proper precautions, a construction zone can become a car accident waiting to happen. While the road construction crew may not be directly responsible for an accident, they could still have a degree of liability for creating the road conditions that caused it.

If you are owed compensation for damages or injuries that occurred in a construction zone accident, contact a Salt Lake City road construction accident lawyer to give your case the greatest chance at a successful outcome.

Road Construction Accident Causes

Any road construction zone has an increased risk of car accidents. This is due to a number of reasons:

Inadequate signage warning drivers of upcoming road construction
Distracted drivers not paying sufficient attention to road conditions in a construction zone
Drivers who fail to obey speed limit signs and warning signs
Poorly designed road construction routes and detours

Any of these factors could be the root cause of a construction zone accident. A Salt Lake City road construction accident lawyer can build a strong case around any one of these, ensuring you have an excellent chance at securing compensation for your damages and injuries.

Human Error

According to the International Organization for Road Accident Prevention, more than 90 percent of road accidents are caused by human error.

This number increases exponentially when you place human drivers into a road construction situation. In a road construction zone, drivers must pay more attention, slow down, not engage in distracted driving, and be aware of the potential hazards that can occur in any construction zone.

It’s a simple truth that not enough drivers pay sufficient attention when driving through a construction zone. If another driver caused a construction zone accident by driving distracted, consult a Salt Lake City road construction accident attorney in order to secure your compensation for that person’s negligence.

Comparative Negligence

Utah evaluates accident settlements according to comparative negligence. Road conditions; the state of the construction zone; and the quality of detours, signage, and warnings will all factor into each involved party’s determined percentage of responsibility.

Under comparative negligence, the percentage of fault you are found responsible for will directly reduce your awarded settlement amount by that percentage. In an accident where you are awarded a $10,000 settlement but are found to be 10 percent at fault, your end settlement amount will be reduced by $1,000.

The sound legal advice of an experienced Salt Lake City road construction accident lawyer is your best option for mitigating the amount of negligence assigned to you.

Client Reviews

“I was concerned with all the paperwork”

Before calling your firm I had 2 big worries. One was I didn’t want to do more paper work, and that fear was resolved when I had to do very little, but Craig Swapp and Assoc. did most of it, and when I did have to come in to sign papers they worked around the times I could do it. Worry 2 was I didn’t want people to think I was “sue happy” and that I was just out to get money. I just wanted my bills to be paid for that were from the accident, and that was resolved I think by Mr. Wes Mortenson and Theresa because they listened to what I had to say.

"I would hire them in a second"

My biggest fear was not having all the expenses caused by the accident paid for in full. I was assured they would be taken care of but I admit I was skeptical. When we wrapped everything up (which happened quicker than I was originally told) I had extra money in my pocket. I honestly thought there was a catch but my attorney explained everything to me in detail. If I am ever in that position again I’ll be giving Craig Swapp a call.

"I was afraid of the fees"

I was afraid of the fees I would have to pay a lawyer. I waited over a year before hiring your law firm. I finally reached out to your online help where they were able to help me understand the process and what would happen. In all honesty I absolutely loved working with the individuals that were involved in my case. They were genuine & heartfelt about my case. It felt as though they really cared and were concerned about me, not just as a client but as a person.

"I was afraid that my issue was too small"

I was afraid that my issue was too small to be handled, and that it would just be rejected. Or that I’d end up having to pay for my medical expenses and any of your teams expenses. I would definitely answer yes, it was resolved! I wasn’t ever made out to feel like my little issue didn’t matter, and my expenses were paid for- just what I wanted/needed.

"I am very pleased with the results"

My biggest fear was that it would be pointless to pursue legal action in my case. I felt like maybe I didn’t have much of a case. After speaking with Paul, I realize it was not of my own fault and that others can be held responsible for the pain and suffering I went through.
