Every day construction workers repair problems with roads and highways. When this repair is occurring, the roads and highways are usually marked with cones and other traffic markers.
These markers are meant to keep construction workers safe. However, because traffic typically still occurs while roads are being repaired, there is a chance that traffic construction workers could be injured by moving traffic.
When these accidents occur, the driver or the construction company may be liable. The liability often depends on the facts and circumstances of the case.
If the driver ignores the traffic markers and this leads to the accident, then the driver may be liable. On the other hand, if the driver follows the markers and the markers are misplaced, then the construction company may be liable.
If you or anyone you know has been injured in a construction traffic accident, contact the Austin construction traffic accident lawyers of Vic Feazell, P.C., at 877-948-4842.

Many drivers on the road frequently talk or text while driving. As some studies have suggested, drivers who text while driving put not only themselves or other drivers at risk.
By texting while driving, drivers often become distracted and do give their full attention to the road. When this occurs, the chance of a traffic accident usually increases.
While many people understand the risks of texting while driving, some do not understand the similar risks of talking while driving. When drivers talk on the cell phone, they are able to pay attention to the road, but they are not able to give their full attention to the road.

As the holiday season approaches, many drivers will be taking to the roads to visit family and friends. With more drivers on the road, there is a greater chance that more accidents will result.
This trend has occurred during most holiday seasons. In order to avoid traffics during the holiday seasons, drivers should stay off of major highways and avoid driving as much as possible on the weekends.
Also, because of the celebrations that accompany the holiday season, people tend to drink and drive more often than normal. For this reason, all drivers should be wary of this and help get cabs and other means for transportation for friends and family who are unfit to drive.
If you or anyone you know has been injured in a car accident this holiday season, contact the Austin car accident attorneys of Vic Feazell at 512-372-8100.
