Construction & Work Accidents
Killeen Lawyer Fights for Injured Workers & Families
Construction sites are among the most dangerous workplaces, with heavy machinery, hazardous materials, and constant activity. When safety measures are ignored or equipment fails, workers can suffer devastating injuries or even wrongful death. Our firm is committed to protecting the rights of construction workers and their families, ensuring they receive the compensation they deserve after a serious
accident.
Common Causes of Construction & Work Accidents
Construction site and workplace accidents can arise from many sources of negligence, including:
Falls from scaffolding, ladders, or rooftops
Electrocution and electrical hazards
Machinery accidents and equipment failures
Falling objects or debris
Mechanical failures due to poor maintenance
Unsafe work conditions or inadequate safety training
Exposure to toxic chemicals or substances
The Real Impact of a Construction Accident
When families lose a loved one in a construction or workplace accident, the loss is both deeply personal and financially overwhelming. Wrongful death claims can help cover funeral expenses, loss of financial support, and the absence of companionship. We provide compassionate guidance while aggressively holding negligent employers, contractors, or manufacturers accountable.
The aftermath of workplace accidents can extend far beyond the initial injuries. Victims often face lifelong challenges, including:
Severe or Catastrophic Injuries
Spinal cord damage, nerve damage, traumatic brain injuries, burns, or amputations.
Permanent Disabilities
Affecting mobility, independence, and
the ability to work.
Wrongful Death
Leaves families with unimaginable grief and financial struggles.
Loss Wages & Future Wages
Diminished earning capacity due to long-term and permanent disabilities, and physical/mental limitations, or cancers.
Long-Term Medical care
From surgeries to rehabilitation, home modifications, in-home or long-term facility care.
Pain and Suffering
Emotional and physical trauma that affects every aspect of daily life.
Workplace Injuries vs. Third-Party Liabilty in Construction Accidents
After a construction accident, many injured workers assume their only option is to file a workers’ compensation claim. While workers’ comp may cover medical bills and part of lost wages, it often falls short of fully addressing the long-term impact of serious injuries. In some cases, injured workers may also have the right to pursue a third-party liability claim in addition to workers’ comp.
A third-party claim can be filed against someone other than your employer, such as:
- A negligent contractor or subcontractor on the job site
- The manufacturer of defective machinery, tools, or safety equipment
- A property owner who failed to maintain safe conditions
- Vendors or delivery companies whose actions contributed to unsafe conditions
Unlike workers’ comp, a third-party lawsuit may allow you to recover compensation for the full scope of your damages—including pain and suffering, future medical care, and lost earning capacity. Our firm carefully investigates each case to determine whether a third-party claim is possible, ensuring injured workers and their families are not limited to workers’ comp alone.
