Construction Accidents in Texas

From our office in Houston, Texas, our construction accident attorneys have handled a great variety of cases, including those involving:

• Falls
• Accidents involving construction equipment such as scaffolding, cranes, derricks, conveyors, ladders, winches, graters, scrapers, backhoes and boilers
• Power line injuries
• Trenching injuries
• Fires and explosions
• Builder neglect
• Building collapse
• Inadequate barricades
• OSHA noncompliance, including refinery compliance 

Although most injured construction workers are entitled to workers’ compensation benefits, these benefits do not cover all of the expenses an injured worker faces and generally do not cover pain and suffering and the full range of damages available to the loved ones of a worker killed in an accident.

When a construction site accident occurs, responsibility for the personal injury can be attributed to a variety of individuals or businesses, including:

• Owners
• Contractors and subcontractors
• Engineers
• Electricians
• Scaffolding companies
• Architects
• Insurance companies
• Equipment manufacturers

For example, the general contractor and subcontractors must provide a reasonably safe work environment and manufacturers of construction equipment are responsible for designing and maintaining safe products. In complex cases, in addition to negligence and workers’ compensation, a construction accident lawyer must consider the legal principles of agency and corporate law.
