construction site accident
On roads and highways throughout Indiana, construction zones are among the most dangerous places for car, truck, and motorcycle drivers and passengers. Every year, hundreds of fatalities and serious injuries occur because of unsafe conditions in road construction areas. Lanes are too narrow. Warnings are not properly posted. Construction vehicle operators are inattentive. Many factors lead to construction site accidents and injuries that could have been prevented if road crews and other drivers would follow prescribed construction zone practices and procedures.

Clark v. EFCO Corp. et. al.
A chain of events, beginning with a driver who struck the right side of a semi-tractor-trailer while attempting to pass on the right shoulder of I-70 eastbound in a construction zone, led to injury and devastation for our clients, the Clark family. After the semi-tractor trailer was struck, it lost control, crossed the westbound lane of I-70, and collided with Byron Clark's vehicle, causing Byron to collide with George Clark, who was operating a vehicle just behind Byron. Byron's wife was killed, and Byron and his two children were injured.
Investigation into the accident revealed that the defendant trucking company has insufficiently equipped the truck for safe operation and had failed to train its drivers adequately. Tabor Law Firm helped Byron recover an amount from defendants for the loss of his wife and the injuries to him and his children. In addition, George Clark, Byron's father, was injured. Tabor Law Firm also represented George and helped him reach a settlement with Defendants.
