We Resolve Complex Construction Accident Cases

Even when you get workers’ compensation for injuries suffered on the job, it may not be enough to cover the extent of your construction site injury, especially since these can be much more catastrophic. That is why you may need to pursue compensation from the multiple parties involved. In many cases, there may be multiple contractors, equipment manufacturers, and other entities that shared responsibility for your accident.

Some of the most common types of accidents to occur on construction sites include:

  • Electrocution
  • Falling objects
  • Fires and explosions
  • Slip and falls
  • Building collapses
  • Equipment malfunctions

These accidents can result in devastating injuries, including loss of limb, paralysis, and head trauma. These types of injuries often carry life-long pain and suffering with them, along with ongoing medical bills, making it crucial for you to retain an experienced construction accident lawyer in Houston.

Meet the Team Behind Every Case

From intake to trial, every person on this team plays a part in getting you the outcome you deserve.

Behind every case file is a full team working on your behalf: case managers, paralegals, and support staff who answer your calls, track down your records, and keep you in the loop every step of the way. We built this firm to feel less like a law office and more like a neighbor you can count on. That starts with hiring people who care, and it shows in how we treat every client who walks through our door.

    The firm knew exactly what they were doing and assured me every time they were doing the best they can for me!
    “I’ve never experienced or had an idea of how the process worked with accidents, especially 18 wheelers! Highly recommend Brenda to talk to. She was very professional and stayed on top of my case from the very beginning!”
    - Erica E.
    They give you one on one attention, and any question you have, they are able to answer.
    “I've been in a couple of car accidents and have been lucky enough to have Chris Soileau as my attorney. They have helped me through these tough times and I am forever thankful. I definitely recommend.”
    - Jessica B.
    Thank you thank you thank you! You changed my life.
    “Chris and his wife have handled several accidents for me throughout the years. The staff is always so nice to me. My last case they got me a $38,000 settlement. Picked up my check today.”
    - Past Client
    Treated me like family. Highly recommend the folks.
    “This place took my case and provided me with guidance from A to Z about what I needed to do and how I was to get the appropriate medical treatment necessary to get better. Very friendly and professional staff.”
    - Cody B.
    Mr. Soileau was unfazed by the trucking company’s denials.
    “I was hit by an 18 Wheeler driving through an intersection and the truck driver denied running the red light. There were no witnesses and we had no way to pay for medical bills. He immediately filed suit and settled our case for a substantial amount of money.”
    - A.Z.
    Mr. Soileau was able to obtain a substantial settlement and negotiate my medical bills
    “Mr. Soileau represented me in a car accident that occurred in November 2014 where I suffered a herniated disc to my neck requiring surgery. After surgery the medical bills were piling up which caused me quite a bit of stress worrying about how all of the medical bills were going to get paid. As my case was complicated and took almost 2 years to work through, Mr. Soileau and his staff were very understanding of my situation throughout the whole ordeal. They took the time to answer my questions, assist with getting the appropriate medical care and kept me in the loop throughout the process. The outcome was much better than I expected. I highly recommend Mr. Soileau and will refer my family and friends if they ever find themselves in need of his services.”
    - J.N.
    I would recommend Chris Soileau any day.
    “I got rear-ended by a big SUV that did not have insurance and to my surprise, Leticia, the case manager, figured out I had personal injury insurance. She took care of me from start to finish. The doctors and chiropractors they recommended took away the injuries caused by the accident. I became a new man with a new strong lower back and I received a nice surprising settlement amount that I wasn’t expecting during the holidays.”
    - Larry R.
    Very professional and quick results.
    “Thanks to attorney Skylar who handled my case. I love this firm.”
    - Past Client
    Within no time, Chris and his staff settled my case.
    “A couple of months ago I was in a car accident. High property damage, but the insurance was not cooperating with me. I hired Chris Soileau to take over. Highly recommend!”
    - Past Client
