Texas Construction Accident Lawyers

Construction workers work in a high-risk industry, daily encountering dangerous working conditions that threaten their lives. While strict safety standards are in place to protect workers on construction sites, corners are still cut, equipment still fails and workers still get tired or careless putting themselves and their fellow workers at risk. There is a lot of trust involved in construction work-trust that your employer is providing the safest possible work environment, trust that your equipment will work and trust in your fellow construction workers. When you sustain injuries as a result of a violation of that trust it is important to contact a construction accidents lawyer in Texas to learn what your rights are.

Most injured construction workers are eligible for benefits under worker's compensation; however, these benefits are often insufficient to cover the real needs of an injured construction worker. While Texas law provides employers with a level of protection for carrying workers compensation insurance, there are circumstances where an employee may sue their employer for injuries sustained on the job site. One instance where employers may be held liable for your injuries is if they do not carry true workers compensation insurance. Independent investigation is needed to determine what type of workers compensation insurance your employer carries, and our construction law attorney is prepared to do the work necessary to help you seek damages from your employer. Sometimes, other parties may be responsible for your injuries in addition to your employer. Therefore, it is a good idea to talk to an experienced Texas construction accidents lawyer when you have been injured on the job site.

Construction accidents can be very serious and it is important that you seek medical attention right away. It is also a good idea to have someone take pictures of the accident scene before the site is changed by the continuation of construction work. In addition, you should document your account of what happened as soon as you are able to so that you are able to recall important details at a later date. Our construction law attorney in Sherman, Texas can advise you further on what specific actions you should take when you have been involved in a construction accident.
