Fort Worth Work Injury and Construction Accident Lawyer
Standing with injured workers and families
A work injury can change everything in a single moment. Medical bills, lost income, and uncertainty about the future can feel overwhelming. We are here to listen, explain your options in plain language, and fight for the full recovery you need.
Why work and construction cases are different
Texas handles work injuries differently from many states. Some employers carry workers’ compensation. Others are non-subscribers, which means you may bring a negligence claim against the employer. Even when workers’ compensation applies, you may still have a separate claim against third parties such as general contractors, subcontractors, equipment manufacturers, or property owners.
These cases also involve safety rules and industry standards. OSHA requirements, company safety manuals, training records, and site-specific work plans can prove how the injury happened and who is responsible. Quick action to preserve evidence is critical because job sites change fast.
Common causes we see on job sites
- Falls from ladders, roofs, scaffolds, or mezzanines
- Struck-by incidents involving forklifts, cranes, trucks, or falling materials
- Caught-in or between hazards including trench or excavation collapses and pinch points
- Electrical injuries from live circuits and inadequate lockout and tagout procedures
- Defective or poorly maintained tools and heavy equipment
- Unsafe lifting, lack of spotters, and housekeeping hazards
- Inadequate fall protection, guardrails, anchors, and personal protective equipment
- Fires, explosions, chemical exposures, and heat illness
- Roadway and work zone crashes
If your injury happened another way, call us. We will look at how the law applies to your situation.
