Injured on I-70? How Missouri Construction Zone Claims Work
Missouri has specific laws for work-zone crashes, including reduced speed limits, higher fines for violations, and unique rules for determining fault. These cases often involve multiple parties—other drivers, contractors, and even state agencies. Our team understands the complexities of Missouri construction zone law and knows how to navigate claims involving the Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) and insurance companies.

MoDOT for failing to maintain safe traffic flow or warning systems
Prompt action helps preserve evidence and strengthens your case.

With construction ongoing for years, more crashes are expected. These projects can affect how quickly evidence is preserved and how liability is determined. Acting quickly ensures critical information isn’t lost as work zones change.
Deadlines to File in Missouri: Don’t Miss the Statute of Limitations
