Confidential Settlement – Road Construction Failure To Warn

Shiver Hamilton Campbell reached a multi-million-dollar settlement after a young woman died when her car was struck from behind in a construction zone. The case involved complicated issues related to advance warning for a lane closure and involved detailed expert analysis of industry standards, including Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) specifications and standard provisions, as well as the Manual on Uniform Traffic Design (MUTCD). This interstate re-paving project had a series of fatal rear-end collisions as traffic slowed or began to queue in the approach to lane closures.
