The District of Columbia Motor Vehicle Code defines a work zone as a portion of a highway or beltway that fulfills the following conditions:
According to the Federal Highway Administration, between 2021 and 2022, the number of fatal crashes in work zones had decreased by 7% in the United States. 30% of the fatal accidents involved a commercial vehicle such as a tractor-trailer. Speeding was a factor in 34% of fatal accidents, and rear-end collisions made up 21% of the fatal construction zone accidents.
However, 2023 data from the National Safety Council shows the problem remains serious. Across the nation, 898 people were killed and 40,170 were injured in work zone crashes. Of those fatalities, 568 occurred in construction zones, 267 in zones of unknown type, 53 in maintenance areas, and 10 in utility zones. These figures highlight how hazardous construction and maintenance areas continue to be for drivers and workers alike, despite gradual safety improvements.

The FHWA reports that while poor conditions and adverse weather can make road construction accidents more likely to occur, the dangerous driving habits of motorists are often the underlying cause.
Actions that can put DC construction zone workers and drivers in danger include:
Other hazards unique to road construction zones include:
A construction zone car accident may not only be caused by the site itself – but it could also be caused by a bad street waiting to be repaired. Either way, these hazards could lead to one-car accidents, traffic collisions, or the rolling of your truck or car, resulting in devastating injuries.
The clock starts ticking when you’re injured in a DC construction zone car crash.

Construction workers put their lives at risk when working in a construction zone. Not only are they using heavy machinery, but the cars flying past them are always a threat to their safety. All it takes is one distracted driver or fatigued truck driver to cause a workplace injury.
If a construction zone worker is injured while on the job, they are eligible to receive workers’ compensation. If the accident was caused by a reckless driver, then the worker can also file a third party lawsuit against that driver for additional compensation.
But what if a construction worker dies as a result of a negligent driver? In this case, the family members of the worker may file a wrongful death lawsuit against that driver.
