Just that I am surprised that a lawyer is needed - a police report (along with, hopefully, an actual police inspection of the area), photos and depositions from the bar owners may settle things with the construction company directly. It shouldn't be expensive in terms of repairs to both parties if settled that way, I'm sure. But maybe its never bad to be too safe...
If the lawyer really is necessary, remember to state all relevant facts. Did you get any warnings from posted signs prior to crossing the intersection about possible road conditions? (the answer is "NO" from your story), etc. And then just be calm.
