Construction Sites

Across Texas, thousands of construction projects are always in progress during the year. As a result, construction accidents have become an unfortunate result of the constant development the state undergoes. Hundreds of injuries and deaths caused by construction site accidents occur every year leaving spouses or families economically and emotionally devastated. Some cases require the claimant to file under the Texas Workers’ Compensation Act but in other cases it can be confirmed that a third party was negligent and, therefore, responsible for the accident.

At a construction site, there are many jobs going on at once with a constant flurry of activity in every direction. This environment, if not properly managed, is what leads to accidents occurring. If there is safety negligence by any one of the parties involved, it can cause serious injury or even death. Sufficient safety measures and provisions, hazard warnings, and equipment safety are just some of the safeguards that the general contractor, subcontractors, property owners, engineers, architects and equipment manufacturers are obligated to provide to ensure the security and wellbeing of their workers.
