Construction Injury Cases We Handle

Construction sites are inherently dangerous environments. From electrical systems to scaffolding and heavy machinery, workers encounter potential hazards daily. In Texas, the construction industry reports some of the highest rates of workplace injuries and fatalities. Common types of construction accident injury cases we handle at Wyatt Law Firm include, but are not limited to:

Texas Construction Injury Laws:
What You Need to Know

Unlike many states, Texas doesn’t require employers to carry workers’ compensation insurance. While most reputable construction companies offer this coverage, many smaller contractors and employers opt out. If you’ve been injured and your employer doesn’t carry workers’ comp, you may be able to file a personal injury lawsuit directly against your employer. Even if your employer is covered by workers’ compensation, you may still have claims against other parties such as subcontractors, equipment manufacturers, or property owners. If you were injured on the job in construction, potentially liable parties may include:

  • Employers. Non-subscribing employers (those without workers’ compensation insurance) can be sued directly for injuries caused by unsafe work conditions or negligence.
  • Workers’ Compensation. No-fault Texas injury benefits system for employees.
  • Often, multiple subcontractors work on the same site, and their negligence can cause injuries to workers from other companies.
  • Property Owners. If a construction site is inherently unsafe due to property conditions, the property owner can be held liable for injuries.
  • Equipment Manufacturers. If faulty machinery or tools contributed to your accident, you may have a product liability claim against the manufacturer.

 

At Wyatt Law Firm, we understand the devastating physical, emotional, and financial toll that construction accidents can have on workers and their families. When negligence is involved, you may be entitled to substantial compensation of medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, disability and impairment, or even wrongful death.

What To Do If You’ve Been Injured in a Construction Accident

If you’ve been hurt on a construction site, try these four steps to protect your rights and ensure you get the compensation you deserve:

  1. Seek Medical Attention Immediately. Even if you think your injury is minor, seek medical care right away. Some injuries, like traumatic brain injuries or internal bleeding, may not show symptoms immediately.
  2. Report the Injury to Your Employer. Make sure your employer is aware of the accident and your injuries. Failure to report an accident promptly could jeopardize your claim.
  3. Document Everything. Keep detailed records of your injuries, medical treatment, and the accident scene. Take photos, gather witness information, and keep copies of any safety reports.
  4. Contact a Construction Accident Lawyer. The sooner you speak with an attorney, the better. Wyatt Law Firm can guide you through the legal process, help you avoid common mistakes, and ensure that your rights are protected.

Falls from Heights
Falls from scaffolding, ladders, or rooftops can result in devastating injuries like spinal cord damage or traumatic brain injuries. Employers often try to blame the worker, but it’s their responsibility to ensure that proper safety equipment and protocols are in place. Even if the worker did not use equipment exactly as directed, they are still entitled to workers’ compensation. If negligence or unsafe conditions contributed to the accident, Wyatt Law Firm will fight to hold those responsible accountable, securing the full compensation you deserve. Return to Top
Heavy Machinery Accidents
Accidents involving cranes, bulldozers, and forklifts often result in serious injuries or fatalities. Proving negligence in these cases can be difficult because operators or supervisors may shift blame. However, the law requires employers to provide proper training and ensure safe operations at all times. Whether it’s faulty equipment or a lack of safety protocols, Wyatt Law Firm knows how to investigate and build a strong case to get you more than just workers’ comp — we fight for the maximum compensation you deserve.

Electrocution and Electrical Accidents
Electrocution accidents on construction sites often stem from poorly managed electrical systems or exposed wiring, which can lead to severe burns or fatalities. These cases can involve multiple contractors and complex safety violations. Even if the worker was involved in the setup, they still deserve workers’ compensation. Wyatt Law Firm’s attorneys work with electrical safety experts to dig into the details and hold negligent parties responsible, ensuring our clients receive compensation that covers medical bills, pain, and future care.

Struck-by Object Accidents
Falling objects like tools or materials can cause serious injuries or even death. It’s the employer’s responsibility to ensure that work areas are safe and properly secured. Even when workers are struck by falling debris or tools, they are entitled to workers’ compensation, no matter what. If unsafe conditions or negligence contributed to the accident, Wyatt Law Firm fights to ensure workers receive far more than basic compensation—we aim for maximum recovery to cover long-term effects, medical care, and lost wages.

Caught-in/Between Accidents 
Caught-in/between accidents often involve heavy machinery or collapsing materials, resulting in life-altering injuries such as amputations or crushing injuries. Employers are responsible for ensuring safe conditions and proper equipment, no matter what. If a worker is injured, they are entitled to workers’ compensation, but if negligence played a role — such as a failure to maintain equipment — Wyatt Law Firm fights for significantly more, holding all responsible parties accountable and securing full compensation for your losses. Return to Top
Exposure to Hazardous Materials
Exposure to toxic materials like asbestos or chemicals can lead to severe health conditions, even years after the initial exposure. Employers have a duty to provide proper protective equipment and inform workers of any hazards. If you’ve been exposed to dangerous substances, you deserve workers’ compensation, but if your employer failed to take safety precautions, you may be entitled to far more. Wyatt Law Firm will aggressively pursue the compensation you deserve for your medical care, suffering, and long-term effects. Return to Top
Trench Collapse and Excavation Accidents
Trench collapses are some of the most dangerous accidents on construction sites, often leading to fatal injuries. Employers are required to follow strict safety regulations to prevent these accidents, and when they fail to do so, they are held responsible. Even if a worker is injured in a collapse, they are entitled to workers’ compensation. But when negligence or safety violations are involved, Wyatt Law Firm fights for much more, ensuring you receive full compensation for medical bills, lost income, and future financial security.
