WERE YOU INJURED ON THE JOB IN HOUSTON, TEXAS?

Working at industrial job sites can pose serious risks to employees and workers. In fact, many jobs sites are populated with different companies and contractors, who are all working on different aspects of the same job. The risk of accidents and injuries is greatly increased when companies share a job site.

Every workplace has its own set of hazards, but some are far more dangerous than others. Construction sites, steel mills, coal mines, Marcellus shale drilling sites, and factories are too often the setting for serious or even fatal work injuries.

Houston Based Providing Statewide Assistance

Although most injured construction workers are entitled to workers' compensation benefits, these benefits do not cover all of the expenses an injured worker faces and generally do not cover pain and suffering and the full range of damages available to the loved ones of a worker killed in an accident.

WHO IS AT-FAULT IN THESE CASES?

When a construction site accident occurs, responsibility for the personal injury can be attributed to a variety of individuals or businesses, including:

Owners
Contractors and subcontractors
Engineers
Electricians
Scaffolding companies
Architects
Insurance companies
Equipment manufacturers

For example, the general contractor and subcontractors must provide a reasonably safe work environment and manufacturers of construction equipment are responsible for designing and maintaining safe products. In complex cases, in addition to negligence and workers' compensation, a construction accident lawyer must consider the legal principles of agency and corporate law.

THE ELEMENTS TO YOUR WORKPLACE INJURY CASE

To file a lawsuit, our Texas Construction Site Injury Lawyers show that your loved one lost his or her life as a result of another’s negligence. In a negligence claim, the attorney representing the injured party needs to prove the following:

Duty of Care: This refers to a legal obligation that requires an individual to exercise a reasonable level of care so as to prevent harm to others. For instance, a doctor has a duty to perform up to the standard of care established by the medical community.
Breach of Duty: An individual or entity may be considered negligent if they breach their duty of care. For example, if a doctor performs an operation in a manner considered unacceptable by the medical community’s standards, they may have breached their professional duty.
Causation: The defendant’s negligence must have been directly responsible for the injury or damage that occurred.
Damages: For a victim to file a claim, the injury needs to have caused either economic or non-economic damages.
