Dallas Construction Accident Attorney

Although there are federal and state agencies that have implemented extensive construction safety standards, thousands of construction workers are injured and killed annually in the United States while performing their job duties. In fact, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that 1,124 construction workers died as the result of construction site accidents in 2004.

The following are some of the accidents that may occur on construction sites:

  • Crane accidents
  • Scaffolding accidents
  • Nail gun accidents
  • Compressed gas accidents
  • Defective and dangerous machinery accidents
  • Mechanical risks due to machinery components
  • Slip, trip and fall accidents
  • Trenching and excavation accidents
  • Chemical exposure
  • Confined-space accidents
  • Explosions
  • Transportation accidents
  • Welding accidents  

In some cases an injured construction worker may receive workers compensation to assist in the payment of bills and other expenses, but for many it is not enough to pay for expensive medical and hospital bills, lost wages, and other on-the-job injury related costs. The property owner, sub-contractor, general contractor, product manufacturer and certain others may be held liable when someone is injured on a construction site.

If you wish to discuss your accident with a Dallas construction accident attorney, click here.  If we agree to handle your case, we will normally work on a contingent fee basis, which means we get paid for our services only if there is a monetary recovery. In almost all cases, a lawsuit must be filed within a certain amount of time from the date of the accident. If you intend to pursue a claim, you should contact an attorney right away to ensure that you do not waive your right to possible compensation.
