Maine crams much of its road construction into the warmer months, putting workers and drivers in close, shifting quarters.
Multiple Possible Defendants
A work-zone crash may involve other drivers, the contractor, or the entity responsible for signage and traffic control. Inadequate warning or poor setup can shift liability.
Injured Workers Have Options
A road worker injured by a driver may have both a workers' comp claim and a third-party claim against the at-fault motorist.
Documenting the Zone
Signage, lane markings, and the work-zone layout are key evidence and can change daily — prompt documentation matters.
