Our Lawyers Represent Injured Construction Workers
In Texas, we have a workers' compensation system that can protect your employer from liability if you are hurt on the job. If your employer subscribes to workers' compensation insurance, you can make a limited recovery for lost wages, medical bills and permanent disability. However, there may be times when you may be entitled to file a claim against a third party to obtain additional monetary compensation.
At the Speights Law Firm, our lawyers represent construction workers who have been injured at job sites in San Antonio, Houston/Galveston, the Rio Grande Valley, and other areas of central, south, and southeast Texas. Our goal is to help you file a claim against any responsible third party to get the monetary compensation you need.
While workers' compensation may prevent you from suing your employer, people and companies other than your employer are not protected. Those may include:
- A subcontractor at the construction site who created a dangerous condition that caused your injury
- A subcontractor who violated OSHA regulations at your site
- A manufacturer of tools or heavy equipment that caused the injury
- Scaffolding that failed or was dangerous
- The owner of the property who created or knew about an unsafe condition
- The driver of another vehicle who hits you
While workers' compensation benefits are limited, monetary compensation from a personal injury claim against responsible third parties who are not your employer are not capped. You can file a claim against those parties to obtain full compensation for all of your damages you incurred in a construction site accident, including pain and suffering and lost earning capacity.
Contingency fee representation: We handle construction site injury claims on a contingency fee basis. This means that we are only paid attorney's fees if and when we obtain money for you. If we don't get money for you, you don't have to pay us anything.
