Construction Injuries
Construction work can be dangerous. Each year, thousands of workers are injured or killed in construction accidents. Workers are burned, electrocuted, amputated, injured by heavy equipment, fall from buildings, and simply are not provided with the required safety equipment. Unfortunately, many states, including Texas, have enacted legislation and worker's compensation laws that protect unsafe employers and severely limit an employee's rights if injured.
That is why you need an experienced and respected attorney if you or a family member has been seriously injured in a construction accident. You need an attorney that is well versed in the state and federal regulations that may apply. A thorough investigation of the contractual and 
business relationships and responsibilities between your employer and other companies on a job site is often critical. Further, while many employers claim to have workers compensation insurance, this needs to be independently verified. If the employer does not have true workers compensation insurance, an employee may sue the employer for his or her injuries.
