Contractor liability rapidly comes into focus anytime a pedestrian or cyclist is injured in a construction work zone. Then, attention quickly turns to investigating who is at-fault. Failure to comply mixed with failure to perform as agreed-upon predictably leads toward responsibility to pay for damages. This is especially true whenever the elderly, a child or disabled person interacts with or attempts to navigate a hazardous work zone and suffers a loss.

Alternate or temporary accessibility often must be designed, setup and maintained in compliance with specific state standards whenever access is restricted or realigned due to a construction or maintenance project. More often than not, this applies to all public roads and all private roads open to the public.
