We Will Pursue Compensation in Your Case

Construction Accidents in Fort Worth
There are many ways a construction worker may sustain injuries. Some common causes of construction accidents include:
Heavy Equipment Accidents
If you were hurt using a piece of heavy equipment on a construction site, you might be eligible to file a claim against the equipment manufacturer.
Falling Objects
Falling objects are common hazards on construction sites. That is why workers may be required to wear hard hats at all times on the job. Unfortunately, even a hard hat is not always enough to prevent a severe or catastrophic injury when a worker is struck by a heavy enough object or falls from high enough to injure them.
Slip and Fall Injuries
A slip and fall can happen at any job, but they may be more common at construction sites. This is because the ground is often unsteady, and hard-to-see hazards are ever-present.
Falls From High Places
If you fell on a construction site while working from a high place, we can determine whose fault the injury was and work to hold that party accountable.
Being Crushed By or Between Objects
Without proper safety protocols, a construction worker may be crushed by or between objects on a job site.
Electrocution
Construction workers may suffer electrocution from the construction site’s electrical system, power lines, power tools, or other electrical hazards.
Chemical Exposure
Exposure to hazardous chemicals at a job site could injure construction workers.
These are not the only ways a construction worker can be injured. If a construction accident injured you, and you believe another party’s negligence was to blame, we can take on your case.

The Statute of Limitations on Your Case
The statute of limitations is generally two years in Texas on most personal injury and wrongful death lawsuits, according to Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code § 16.003. If you allow the time frame to expire, you could lose your right to compensation via a lawsuit.
Your lawyer can help you determine which specific deadlines apply to your case.
What You Should Know About Our Team
We use our skills, experience, and knowledge to secure fair compensation for our clients. We have helped injured Texans for decades. Let us help you too.
Our past clients have said the following about our services:
- “… very attentive and very helpful with the entire process.” – Bishop
- “5 star communication to make sure we were happy as clients” – JKLM 5

How We Have Our Clients Pay Us
Because we work on a contingency-fee basis, our clients pay nothing upfront. We do not collect attorney’s fees unless and until our clients recover compensation from a settlement offer or court award.
Other firms might require you to pay by the hour or in a lump sum payment at the beginning. We do not ask this because we know how much financial pressure you could be under right now. Handling life after an accident is expensive enough. Paying for a lawyer shouldn’t complicate things further.
What You Should Avoid Saying After the Accident
After you sustain an injury, you might be tempted to take the blame and assure others that you’re fine. Doing so can jeopardize your claim to damages, though. The eyewitnesses might remember you saying that you were uninjured, and the insurance companies will use this against you.
You should also avoid giving too much information to the insurers about how you think you became injured. You only need to tell them the facts. Let us investigate and prove your injuries.
