GWC Injury Lawyers Support Laborers’ Call for Caution in Construction Zones

In the wake of two recent devastating incidents, GWC stands in solidarity with laborers and echoes their call for heightened caution in construction zones.

The first incident, an interstate crash in Bloomington, resulted in severe injuries to a member of Laborers’ Local 362. The second incident involves the loss of a devoted member of Laborers’ Local 165 for the past 27 years. His untimely death serves as a poignant reminder of the immediate dangers faced by workers in and around construction zones. So the next time you get on the roads or highways, and you see those familiar orange signs for road construction workers ahead, drive like your life depends on it. Theirs certainly does.
