Types of Accidents on Construction Sites

Types of Accidents on Construction SitesConstruction work involves inherent dangers that cause thousands of serious injuries across Texas each year. Our firm handles claims arising from all types of construction site accidents:

  • Falls from scaffolding, ladders, and roofs;
  • Struck-by accidents involving falling objects or moving equipment;
  • Caught-in or caught-between accidents;
  • Electrocutions and electrical burns;
  • Crane and heavy equipment accidents;
  • Trench collapses and cave-ins;
  • Explosions and fires;
  • Exposure to toxic substances, and
  • Forklift accidents.

Many construction accidents result in catastrophic injuries that change victims’ lives forever. We document injuries with medical professionals, addressing both your immediate needs and your long-term care requirements before sending demand letters.

Common Causes of Construction Accidents

Most construction accidents stem from preventable failures in safety protocols, training, or equipment maintenance. At Abraham Watkins, our investigations frequently reveal the following causes of construction site injuries:

  • Human error and careless behavior;
  • Faulty or defective equipment;
  • Inadequate worker training;
  • Failure to provide proper safety gear;
  • Lack of fall protection systems;
  • Poor site maintenance;
  • Violation of OSHA regulations;
  • Improper scaffolding assembly, and
  • Negligent supervision.

Employers and contractors have a legal duty to maintain safe work environments for everyone on site. When they cut corners or ignore safety requirements, injured workers deserve full accountability and fair compensation.

Who Is Liable for a Construction Accident?

Construction projects involve numerous parties, and more than one entity may bear legal responsibility for your injuries. Our legal team investigates every aspect of your accident to identify all parties whose negligence contributed to your injuries. Pursuing claims against multiple defendants often increases the total compensation available in your case.

Under Texas law, courts apportion fault among all responsible parties, allowing you to recover from multiple defendants based on their respective percentages of liability:

  • General contractors;
  • Subcontractors
  • Property owners;
  • Equipment manufacturers;
  • Architects and engineers, and
  • Equipment rental companies.

Under Texas Labor Code Section 406.033, non-subscriber employers who opt out of workers’ compensation coverage lose important legal defenses when their negligence causes worker injuries. We know how to identify all responsible parties and pursue every available path to recovery.

How Much Is a Construction Accident Worth?

Construction accident cases carry unique values determined by the specific circumstances of your injury and its impact on your life. Several key factors influence the compensation you may recover:

  • Severity and permanence of injuries;
  • Amount of medical treatment required;
  • Length of recovery period;
  • Impact on your ability to work;
  • Degree of fault attributed to each party, and
  • Insurance coverage available.

Texas law allows construction accident victims to pursue economic and non-economic damages from negligent parties. You may recover compensation for the following losses:

  • Past and future medical expenses;
  • Lost wages and benefits;
  • Diminished earning capacity;
  • Physical pain and suffering;
  • Mental anguish and emotional distress;
  • Physical impairment, and
  • Disfigurement.

Our Dallas construction accident lawyers collaborate with healthcare professionals and economic experts to calculate the full value of your claim. We refuse to leave money on the table when your future security is at stake.
