Traffic lights are vital for maintaining the steady flow of traffic. Because of the different signals sent out by traffic lights, drivers are able to coordinate driving through intersections and other areas where traffic accidents are likely to occur.

However, traffic lights are not full proof. For time to time, they can break because of electrical problems. Also, the traffic signals can be blocked by either ice or snow.

In most cases, the ice or snow will melt off the traffic lights and cause no problems. If it is cold enough, however, the lights will be blocked and could cause traffic accidents.

If you or anyone you know has been injured in an accident due to a faulty traffic light, contact the Austin personal injury lawyers of Vic Feazell, P.C., at 877-948-4842.

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.

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. 

If you or anyone you know has been injured in a car accident with drivers who text or talk on the cell phone, contact the Austin car accident lawyers of Vic Feazell, P.C., at 877-948-4842.
