Construction Accident Lawyer in Dallas

Nearly every item, tool, or machine on a construction site is capable of causing injury. Workers routinely experience injuries due to falls, falling objects, crushing, and exposure to dangerous materials.

The most common causes of worksite deaths are:

• Falls
• Falling and moving objects
• Electrocutions
• Workers getting caught or stuck in between surfaces

Snow and ice present additional hazards, especially on roofs, scaffolding, and other higher-up areas. If you’re injured in a construction site accident, you may be eligible for compensation. Contact Morgan & Morgan to learn more about your legal options.

Workers’ compensation is the standard way for injured workers to get their medical bills and other costs paid. Although it applies slightly differently in each state, it generally works by covering medical bills and partial wages for the duration of the time that you are injured.

It is available to those who have been injured on the job and is generally the only way workers can bring a claim against their employers for injuries. Workers’ compensation is a no-fault system, meaning that a worker can recover whether their employer was negligent or not.

There may be limits on which doctors you can visit, how much you can recover per week, and the duration of payments. To ensure you receive full and fair compensation for your construction accident, contact Morgan & Morgan today.

Assigning Third-Party Liability

While the law prevents workers from suing their employer, it does not prevent lawsuits against other people or companies on a construction site.

Workers are frequently able to bring negligence claims against:

• Other contractors
• Subcontractors
• And property owners

Determining third-party liability is often a complex process that requires extensive investigation.
