A work zone crash can feel chaotic—but the steps you take right after can make a meaningful difference in your recovery, both physically and legally.

First and foremost, get to safety and seek medical attention immediately, even if your injuries seem minor. Work zones often involve heavy equipment, lane shifts, and reduced visibility, which can make these crashes more dangerous than typical accidents.

Next, if you’re able:

• Call the police and make sure an official report is created
• Take photos of the scene, including signage, lane closures, and vehicle damage
• Get contact information from witnesses and everyone involved

At Liss, Shapero & Mitnick, we take the time to understand not just how the crash happened—but how it has impacted your life. Because to us, your case is never just a file—it’s your story.
