Construction Worker’s Compensation Claim in Texas

Most construction site workers are either employees or subcontractors of the company overseeing the project. Worker’s compensation does not always cover an injury, especially when a third-party, such as a careless worker from another team, led to the accident. It is highly recommended that you speak with an attorney in the event of an accident at the job site. You can benefit from having someone who is highly knowledgeable about the legalities of a construction site, and knows who and how to go after to get you the compensation to which you are entitled for your injuries.

Establishing Liability in a Construction Accident

Liability for an accident on a construction site may land on a co-worker, boss, manufacturer of a product, and more. Many different parties are involved in the construction business, and fault is sometimes difficult to nail down.

Sometimes shear negligence is evident. To establish negligence when there has been a construction accident, your attorney must provide evidence that someone violated Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) regulations. Furthermore, it is required to provide evidence that the breach of regulations actually caused the accident.
