Project CAR  Targets Unsafe Drivers in Construction Areas

NASHVILLE, Tenn., --- The Tennessee Department of Safety announced today the Tennessee Highway Patrol is continuing efforts to reduce accidents in the state's construction work zones. Project CAR (Construction Accident Reduction) targets motorists who violate traffic laws while traveling through highway work zones when road workers are present.

“Construction and maintenance work zones can be dangerous places for both workers and motorists,” Governor Phil Bredesen stated. “The increased presence of State Troopers in work zones is helping keep Tennessee 's construction and maintenance zones safer for everyone and I am pleased to see this important program continued.”

Since it began, the CAR program has resulted in more than 24,000 citations and warnings written to motorists for violations in work zones. Most importantly, no fatal accidents were reported in work zones where a State Trooper was present. Read more at state.tn.us

Did You Know?    
 
 
Construction accident injuries may be covered by workers compensation.
Most are. The workers' compensation system is designed to provide benefits to injured workers no matter whether an injury is caused by the employers or employee's negligence. But there are some limits. Generally, injuries caused because an employee is intoxicated or using illegal drugs are not covered by workers' compensation.
