Texas Construction Accident Lawyers
Construction accidents in Texas often involve serious injuries — falls from heights, electrocution, being struck by objects, and caught-between hazards (OSHA's "Fatal Four"). Unlike typical workplace injuries, construction cases frequently involve third-party liability beyond workers' compensation, because multiple contractors and subcontractors share the same site.

Insurance companies have adjusters, lawyers, and algorithms designed to minimize what they pay you. An attorney levels that playing field.
Most personal injury lawyers work on contingency — you pay nothing unless they recover money for you
An attorney knows the true value of your claim. Insurance companies count on injured people not knowing what their case is worth and accepting low-ball offers.
Evidence disappears fast. An attorney preserves surveillance footage, witness statements, and medical records before they're lost.
Studies consistently show that injury victims with attorneys recover significantly more than those who negotiate directly with insurance companies — even after attorney fees.
Common Questions About Construction Accident
General information only — not legal advice.
Can I sue beyond workers' compensation for a construction injury?
Often yes. While workers' comp covers injuries from your direct employer, construction sites involve multiple parties — general contractors, subcontractors, property owners, and equipment manufacturers. If a third party's negligence caused your injury, you can file a personal injury lawsuit against them while still receiving workers' comp benefits from your employer.
What are OSHA's "Fatal Four" construction hazards?
Falls (from scaffolding, ladders, roofs), struck-by-object incidents, electrocution, and caught-in/between hazards account for more than half of all construction worker deaths. OSHA violations related to these hazards can serve as strong evidence of negligence in a personal injury claim.
Who is responsible for safety on a construction site?
Multiple parties share responsibility: the general contractor typically has overall site safety duties, subcontractors are responsible for their workers and equipment, property owners may have obligations depending on the state, and equipment manufacturers are liable for defective tools or machinery. An attorney identifies all potentially liable parties.
