Road construction is a fact of life in a growing community like Camarillo. Projects on US-101, Las Posas Road, and throughout the city's expanding neighborhoods mean that construction zones are regular features of local driving. These zones introduce hazards that drivers do not encounter on normal roadways, and when accidents happen in construction zones, the consequences can be severe.

If you were injured in a construction zone accident in or near Camarillo, our Camarillo personal injury attorneys can help you identify all responsible parties and pursue the compensation you deserve.

Why Construction Zones Are Dangerous

Construction zones create a variety of hazards that can cause accidents:

• Reduced lane widths and sudden lane shifts that catch drivers off guard
• Abrupt changes in speed limits that drivers may not notice or respect
• Uneven pavement, loose gravel, and debris on the roadway
• Inadequate or confusing signage that fails to warn drivers of hazards ahead
• Missing or damaged barriers that should protect the travel lanes
• Construction workers and equipment unexpectedly near moving traffic
• Poor lighting in night construction zones

Who Can Be Held Liable?

Construction zone accident liability can extend to multiple parties:

• The construction company if the zone was set up improperly, signage was inadequate, or workers created hazards
• The government entity (Caltrans on state highways, or the city of Camarillo on local roads) if the project was government-managed and negligently executed
• Other drivers who caused the crash by speeding through the zone, ignoring signals, or driving recklessly
• Equipment manufacturers if a piece of construction equipment malfunctioned

Attorney Curt Brown investigates all parties involved in the construction project and the accident itself. Government entities require special claims procedures with short deadlines, and we ensure those requirements are met promptly.

Construction Zone Injuries

Construction zone accidents frequently cause serious injuries because of the combination of restricted lanes, higher speed vehicles, and abrupt hazards. Common injuries include:
