Injured on a Construction Site? Know Your Legal Rights
Construction work is one of the most dangerous occupations in the United States. According to OSHA, construction workers account for 1 in 5 workplace fatalities annually. These tragic accidents often occur when construction companies fail to enforce proper safety protocols. At Armstrong Law, Dallas construction accident attorney Warren M. Armstrong aggressively pursues compensation for injured workers and their families.
Workers’ Compensation vs. Third-Party Claims
If you're injured on the job, you may qualify for workers' compensation benefits, which can cover part of your lost wages and medical expenses. However, in many cases, these benefits are insufficient. In some instances, third-party liability may come into play—when someone other than your employer is at fault, such as a contractor, property owner, or equipment manufacturer.
Common Third Parties in Construction Accident Claims:
- General contractors and subcontractors
- Property owners
- Architects and engineers
- Equipment or tool manufacturers
Construction Accident Injuries We Handle
Armstrong Law helps victims who suffer:
- Falls from scaffolding or ladders
- Electrocutions
- Crush injuries from heavy machinery
- Burns or explosions
- Injuries due to unsafe equipment or lack of fall protection
No matter how the injury occurred, you may be entitled to full compensation, including pain and suffering, if a third party’s negligence played a role.
Third-Party Negligence and OSHA Violations
Construction companies and contractors have a duty to:
- Warn workers of known hazards
- Comply with OSHA safety regulations
- Coordinate job site safety
- Ensure machinery is safe and workers are trained
Failure to meet these standards can result in serious injury or wrongful death. When safety violations contribute to a construction site accident, Armstrong Law holds all liable parties accountable.
Defective Construction Equipment Claims
If unsafe tools or machinery led to your injuries, the manufacturer may be held responsible under product liability laws. We pursue claims involving defective:
- Power tools
- Scaffolding systems
- Cranes and lifts
- Safety harnesses and gear
