Common Types of Construction Accidents in the Houston Metro Area

The construction industry poses a number of risks for workers, due in large part to the inherently dangerous nature of the job. When workers, supervisors, and construction companies fail to follow all applicable safety rules and OSHA-mandated regulations, it can lead to serious accidents.

Some of the most common types of construction accidents include:

  • Falling from unsafe scaffolding, ladders, and other heights
  • Being hit by falling debris
  • Slip and fall accidents
  • Heavy machinery and equipment accidents
  • Being trapped between materials
  • Machine entanglement
  • Trench, structure, and ground collapse
  • Toxic exposure
  • Explosions, fires, and electrocution
  • Power line injuries

Falls are perhaps the most common of all construction accidents and can lead to severe, life-altering injuries, such as fractures, head injuries, traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, and paralysis. In many cases, falls on construction sites are fatal. All too often, these falls result from unsafe worksites, uncommunicated hazards, OSHA violations, and other forms of negligence. When this is the case, or when any construction injury results from negligence, injured workers or their surviving family members can take legal action by filing a workers' compensation claim or a third-party injury claim.

Pursuing All Types of Injury Claims

Although most employees who are hurt on the job are entitled to benefits from workers' compensation, these are typically inadequate in the face of all the expenses that come from a construction site injury. For example, workers' compensation benefits do not provide an avenue for pain and suffering damages—which can be significant when you're permanently disabled as a result of the accident. Additionally, your workers' compensation benefits only replace a fraction of your total lost income. That's why, we do NOT handle workers' comp cases in Texas.

The legal team at SJ Injury Attorneys can help NON-SUSCRIBER EMPLOYEES hold multiple parties accountable for your injuries, including the building owner, contractors, engineers, electricians, and others. We will conduct a thorough investigation to identify all potentially liable parties and maximize your available compensation.
