- Falls from scaffolding
- Equipment defects - ladders, saws, construction equipment, forklifts, etc.
- Crane/scaffold collapses
- Toxic chemical exposure
- OSHA violations
- Dangerous job site conditions
- Electric shocks/electrocutions
At Ryan A. Foster & Associates, our Houston construction site injury lawyers aggressively pursue compensation for workers who have suffered broken bones, head and brain injuries, back and spinal cord injuries, amputations and other injuries. We also represent the families of those who have suffered fatal injuries.
Workers' Compensation and Construction Injuries
According to Texas workers' compensation law, an injured employee typically cannot sue an employer for an injury caused on the job. However, it is possible to file a lawsuit against a third party if an injury was caused by the third party's negligence. Third parties can include contractors, coworkers, equipment suppliers or others.
Our Houston construction accident lawyers will analyze your case and help you determine the party responsible for the accident. If a third party is responsible for your injuries, we will aggressively pursue compensation on your behalf.
