A young motorist was driving to school early in the morning when he entered a work zone that was improperly closed by the highway department. Due to improper sign placement and lane closures, the motorist was directed into the wrong lane of travel, resulting in a head-on collision. The collision caused severe orthopedic injuries resulting in the need for multiple surgical interventions. The client filed suit in state court, and the lawsuit involved many complex legal issues. Ultimately we were able to obtain a settlement for the client despite an allegation that he was at fault for driving in the wrong lane.
