Fort Worth Construction Accident Attorneys

Common Types of Construction Accident Injuries

Accidents on construction sites can result in fatalities and life-altering injuries for workers. OSHA’s “fatal four” refers to the leading causes of death for construction workers, including falls, caught-in/between injuries, electrocution, and struck-by injuries.

The inherently dangerous nature of construction can increase the risk of catastrophic harm and severe injuries, such as: 

• Amputations
• Crush injuries
• Spinal cord injuries 
• Hazardous exposure
• Traumatic brain injuries
• Fractures and broken bones
• Electrocution and burn injuries

How We Prove Fault in Complex Construction Accident Claims

Our firm has proven experience in claims involving heavy machinery, catastrophic injuries, multi-contractor job sites, and other complex construction accidents. Our strategic approach includes: 

Investigating Multi-Party Liability

Construction sites often involve subcontractors, general contractors, equipment manufacturers, and property owners. We work carefully to identify potentially responsible parties and hold them fully accountable.

Analyzing Safety Violations

We review OSHA reports, safety logs, and site inspections to determine if safety protocols were ignored or equipment was improperly maintained, which can be a critical element in proving negligence.

Coordinating with Experts 

We partner with a vast professional network of engineers, accident reconstruction experts, and medical specialists to present evidence-backed cases that clearly show how the accident occurred and illustrate its long-term impacts on your quality of life. 

Navigating Insurance & Contractor Defenses

Construction firms and insurance companies often dispute liability in an effort to deny or minimize valid claims. We are familiar with these tactics to anticipate common defenses and develop effective strategies for your specific case. 

Advocacy for Local Workers 

Our attorneys have an in-depth knowledge of local construction laws and workspaces in North Texas to pursue claims that protect injured workers and their families, even in highly technical or contested cases.

What Is the Deadline for Filing a Construction Accident Claim?

In Texas, the statute of limitations for construction accident claims is generally two years from the date of the injury. Failure to file within this timeframe can result in the loss of eligibility for damages, making it crucial to consult with our attorneys as soon as possible. We can guide you through the process of completing the required forms and submitting a prompt claim within the appropriate deadline.

Who Is Liable for a Construction Accident?

When a construction accident occurs due to negligence, the injured party (plaintiff) may be entitled to compensation in a third-party injury lawsuit. Common liable parties include:

• Construction companies may be responsible for damages if they ignored safety protocols or violated OSHA regulations. 
• Contractors and subcontractors may be liable if their negligence contributed to the accident, such as improper equipment handling or inadequate supervision. 
• Manufacturers and suppliers may be held responsible if the construction accident was caused by unsafe materials, tools, or equipment.
• Property owners may be liable for damages if they failed to maintain safe premises or warn about known hazards at the construction site.

Why Choose Our Construction Accident Lawyers?

Construction accident claims often involve multiple parties, strict safety regulations, and technical evidence that make them more complicated than standard personal injury cases. Working with our experienced attorneys is vital to filing a timely claim and presenting a compelling case.
