Jonesboro Truck Crashes in Road Construction Zones

rucking Accident Attorneys Serving the Jonesboro Area

Construction zones are magnets for car and truck accidents. This is in large part due to the congestion that road construction zones create. The congestion, which often pops up in unexpected areas, frequently gets the better of drivers who are distracted, speeding, or otherwise negligently operating their vehicles. When the driver in question is behind the wheel of a commercial truck, the ensuing accident can have devastating results. At Nahon, Saharovich & Trotz, our truck accident attorneys have been assisting injured victims for over 30 years. If you have been hurt in a truck crash in a road construction zone in Jonesboro or the surrounding area, call our firm today and let our experienced Jonesboro truck accident lawyers help you pursue the compensation you deserve.

Pursuing Legal Claims After a Truck Crash in a Road Construction Zone

Truck accidents are commonly caused by the failure of the truck driver to operate their vehicle in a manner that is reasonable under the circumstances. In legal terms, this is referred to as negligence. Therefore, in order to recover for injuries sustained in a construction zone crash, an injured victim will usually need to gather proof sufficient to establish the legal elements of negligence under Arkansas law: duty, breach, causation (direct and proximate), and damages.

The proof needed to support a claim for negligence can often be obtained from a variety of sources. Such sources can include police reports, cell phone records, driving logs, witness statements, and others. For example, a truck driver traveling through Jonesboro may speed past another driver on I-555 before coming upon a road construction zone. If that truck driver causes a truck accident because his or her speed of travel is too great to stop in time, the driver that the trucker sped past may give a statement to police about the trucker’s speed that could give accident victims the evidence they need to sustain their cause of action against the truck driver for the interstate crash. Attorneys who are experienced in handling truck accident cases in Craighead County will know where to look for evidence like witness statements. By seeking assistance from a knowledgeable accident lawyer, victims can increase their chances of successfully building a case against the driver that caused their injuries.

If an accident victim is able to build a case against the truck driver, the victim may also be able to hold the truck driver’s employer responsible for their injuries. Trucking companies can be held liable under the doctrine of vicarious liability for the actions of their truck driver employees that occur within the course and scope of the drivers’ employment. Holding the trucking company liable for the trucker’s actions will often be an important aspect of an accident victim’s case, as the individual truck driver may not have assets to cover the medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other possible damages that a victim could be entitled to recover.
