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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
