Construction Accidents Video Summary
Construction sites are inherently dangerous — even with safety precautions in place, construction accidents can and do happen. At Abraham, Watkins, Nichols, Sorrels, Agosto & Friend, our Houston construction site accident lawyers can help you recover the costs incurred following a construction accident related injury.
Many times construction companies take shortcuts to meet tight schedules and save money. When things go wrong it’s the construction workers that suffer. Falls, scaffolding accidents, power line and trenching injuries are far too common.
Even if you are receiving workers’ compensation, chances are it won’t pay for all of your medical bills and the other hardships you’ll face. If the accident was caused by a company other than your employer, you have the right to investigate the possibility of a lawsuit.
