Construction Accident Lawyers

Construction work can be especially dangerous. In fact, thousands of workers are injured or killed each year in construction accidents. Workers are electrocuted, burned, injured by heavy equipment, fall from buildings, and simply are not provided with the proper safety equipment.

Unfortunately, many states, including Texas, have enacted legislation and worker's compensation laws that can severely limit an employee's rights if injured. That is why you need an experienced, serious and respected lawyer if you have been seriously injured in a construction accident. You need a lawyer that is well versed in the state and federal regulations that may apply. A thorough investigation of the contractual and business relationships and responsibilities between the various employers on a job site is often critical. Further, while many employers claim to have workers compensation insurance, this needs to be independently verified. If the employer does not have true workers compensation insurance, an employee may sue the employer for his or her injuries.
