If you were injured on a construction site in the Valley, your rights depend heavily on whether your employer has workers' comp insurance. We help you understand them.
A construction accident in Texas can have several responsible parties (the general contractor, a subcontractor, the site owner, an equipment manufacturer) and several paths to compensation. As personal injury lawyers, we pursue all of them. One key point: if your employer does not have workers' comp insurance, you may sue them directly.
Construction sites are among the most dangerous workplaces:
Unlike a simple accident, construction usually involves several companies: the general contractor, subcontractors, the property owner, and sometimes the manufacturer of a defective machine or tool.
Identifying all responsible parties matters a great deal, because it can mean more than one source of compensation to cover your injuries.
Here is what is special about Texas: workers' comp is not mandatory for employers. If your employer has it, you claim through that system. If they do NOT (a "non-subscriber" employer, very common in construction), you can sue them directly in civil court, and they lose important legal defenses.
Knowing which of the two cases you are in defines your whole strategy. We find out from the start.
It is important you know this: in a construction accident, you have rights regardless of your immigration status. Texas law protects injured workers, and seeking legal help does not expose you.
