Construction Accident Injuries

Those who survive construction accidents may face permanent disability and a shortened life expectancy due to complications and secondary conditions.

Construction accident injuries often include:

  • Amputations
  • Repetitive stress injuries
  • Hearing loss
  • Brain injury
  • Spinal cord injury
  • Severe burns
  • Chemical burns
  • Broken bones and fractures
  • Back injuries

  • Electrocution/electric shock
  • Hearing damage
  • Vision loss
  • Respiratory injury
  • Toxic exposure leading to long-term illness, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis

Compensation for Construction Accident Injuries

As an injured construction worker, in Texas, workers’ compensation benefits may or may not be available to you. If they are you should file a claim immediately so you can start getting help quickly. A workers’ compensation claim is an insurance claim, not a lawsuit, and you do not need to prove fault. Workers’ compensation will only cover a small portion of your needs, but in some cases, it does not interfere with your ability to seek full compensation for your injuries.

If you are not covered by workers’ compensation, it may be appropriate to sue your employer or a negligent third party. In construction accidents, it is very common for a third party to be responsible. In that case, a third-party lawsuit is an option for you whether or not you are covered by workers’ compensation. Through a personal injury lawsuit, you have the opportunity to recover full compensation for your medical expenses, lost income, pain and suffering, and more.

Liability for Construction Accidents

The first step in a construction accident claim is for our attorneys to determine the cause of your accident to determine who can be held liable for your injuries. It may be appropriate to seek compensation from more than one party.

Those who may be held liable in construction accidents include:

  • Construction site owner
  • General contractor
  • Subcontractor
  • Architect
  • Engineer
  • Inspector
  • Equipment operator
  • Materials manufacturer or supplier
  • Tool or equipment manufacturer
  • Tool or equipment seller
  • Rental company
  • A third party contracted to maintain and repair tools or equipment
