Summer in Pennsylvania brings a few things you can count on — warmer days, blooming trees, and construction zones as far as the eye can see.
We’ve all been there. You’re cruising along when suddenly the road narrows, cones appear out of nowhere, and you’re dodging lane shifts, flashing signs, and bumper-to-bumper traffic. One wrong move — by you, another driver, or even a construction vehicle — and just like that, you’re in an accident. It happens fast, and it’s not always clear who’s at fault.
That’s where our team at Slusser Law comes in.
As auto accident lawyers, we’ve handled plenty of these cases, and let us tell you: construction zone crashes are rarely straightforward. These areas can create a perfect storm for collisions — tight lanes, confusing detours, missing signs, or impatient drivers flying through at full speed.
We’ve seen it all. A client sideswiped in a one-lane merge where the markings had all but faded. Another clipped by a construction truck that backed out without warning. And a rear-end chain reaction that started because a detour sign was posted too late to brake safely. Each case was different, and so was the party responsible.
Sometimes it’s the other driver — distracted, aggressive, or following too closely. Other times, the construction company or municipality didn’t set the site up safely. That’s where things get complicated. And when things get complicated, you need more than just legal advice — you need someone who knows how to dig into the details and fight for the outcome you deserve.
That’s exactly what we do. As a trusted attorney for auto accident cases in Pennsylvania, we know how messy work zone liability can be — and we know how to untangle it. We investigate the scene, sort out who dropped the ball, and go after the compensation you need to get back on your feet.
If you’ve been in a construction zone accident, here’s what to do:
- Get to a safe spot and call 911 — having an official report is key.
- Snap photos of everything: signs, the layout, your vehicle, any injuries.
- Even if you feel okay, get checked out. Some injuries take time to show.
- Then call us at Slusser Law.
We’re not just another personal accident lawyer you found online — we’re local, we care, and we keep it real.
We’ll deal with the insurance adjusters and the finger-pointing, while you deal with getting better.
