I-95 Construction Accidents
In 2011 there were 892 road construction and maintenance-related accidents in Connecticut. 34% of those accidents were rear-end collisions. Ultimately, the construction on I-95 is intended to improve the heavy congestion and dangerous conditions on the highway. In the meantime, the construction itself poses a multitude of hazards.
Accidents that occur in construction zones are often the result of negligent or reckless driving, such as driving over the posted limit, but many construction-related accidents are due to improperly marked construction zones and other similar problems.
If your I-95 accident was the result of a roadway defect or improper construction practices, your lawsuit may be against a government entity. That means that your case will be more complicated and that you have a very short amount of time to take legal action, in the form of a notice of intent to sue. After that, you still have to file your lawsuit within the amount of time specified in the statute of limitations.
