Common Types of Construction Accidents
The construction industry poses significant risks to workers, largely due to the inherently dangerous nature of the job. When workers, supervisors, and construction companies fail to follow applicable safety rules and OSHA-mandated regulations, it can lead to serious accidents.
Some of the most common types of construction accidents include:
- Falling from unsafe scaffolding, ladders, and other heights
- Being hit by falling debris
- Slip and fall accidents
- Heavy machinery and equipment accidents
- Being trapped between materials
- Machine entanglement
- Trench, structure, and ground collapse
- Toxic exposure
- Explosions, fires, and electrocution
- Power line injuries
Falls are perhaps the most common of all construction accidents, and they can lead to severe, life-altering injuries, such as fractures, traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, and paralysis. In many cases, falls on construction sites are fatal. All too often, these falls result from unsafe worksites, uncommunicated hazards, OSHA violations, and other forms of negligence. When that's the case, or when any construction injury results from negligence, injured workers or their surviving family members can take legal action through a workers' compensation claim or a third-party injury claim.
Pursuing All Types of Construction Injury Claims in Pasadena, Texas
Although most employees hurt on the job are entitled to workers' compensation benefits, those benefits are typically inadequate given everything that comes with a serious construction site injury. Workers' compensation doesn't provide an avenue for pain and suffering damages, which can be significant when you're permanently disabled as a result of the accident, and it only replaces a fraction of your total lost income. That's why we don't handle standard workers' comp cases in Texas.
Instead, our legal team focuses on helping non-subscriber employees, meaning workers whose employers opted out of the state's workers' compensation system, hold negligent parties directly accountable for their injuries. We can also help hold multiple third parties accountable, including building owners, contractors, engineers, and electricians, when their negligence contributed to your accident. We'll conduct a thorough investigation to identify every potentially liable party and pursue the maximum compensation available to you.

“Awesome Law firm!! Brenda was amazing in helping manage my case and if for some reason she wasn't available, Chris or Dawn was immediately there to help me. I see some complaints on here about not returning phone calls? I never had an issue. Sometimes I would have to leave a message, but they always got back to me with updates. My case took a while but totally worth the wait because they never just took whatever was offered.”- Amy G.

“Right from the beginning, we felt like we had a champion in our corner. His entire staff was great to work with, and Chris never stopped fighting for us. He made the entire process a breeze to work through, and when he took on the responsibility of dealing with the doctor's bill and insurance it freed my wife and I up to concentrate on our healing process. Thanks, Chris Soileau for doing such a fantastic job. The big check at the end was pretty nice too!”- Joey J.

“I knew few attorneys a couple years back when I needed one to represent me in a case involving an accident with my wife. I was introduced to Mr. Soileau one evening while I was out playing golf. He sat down and took time out his golf game and listened to my predicament I was facing. Afterward, by the way, he handled everything so professionally I hired him and his firm to represent me, hoping we'd settle without it going to court. Needless to say we settled out of court within a year and I was well satisfied with the settlement. Thanks again to Chris Soileau. I'd recommend them to anyone needing a great down to earth attorney, who has a family and wants to know you personally.”- Paul R.
