Construction is among the most dangerous jobs available.

From our offices in Beaumont, Nederland and Houston, our firm has been representing clients throughout Southeast Texas for over 50 years.

Reporting Construction Accidents

Although many employers brag about their high safety ratings or the extra precautions they take to keep workers healthy, the pressure to appear as part of a company who is a forerunner in safety measures often takes its toll on the construction workers themselves. Instead of reducing risks or improving working conditions, many employers encourage their construction workers to hide or downplay injuries. We represent clients who suffered injuries from unsafe conditions, including:

• Falling from ladders or scaffolding
• Being hit by falling objects or power tools
• Entanglement in heavy equipment
• Trench or wall collapses
• Improperly-constructed scaffolding, resulting in falls or collapses
• Electrical shocks

Because most people depend on their construction work as a primary source of income, there is a natural fear in reporting injuries. Many people are worried about their employer retaliating against them or about being unable to work because of an injury. When clients contact our firm, we address all aspects of the situation. We help our clients file for workers' compensation and the other government benefits, and we help them find the medical treatment necessary.

If you were injured in a construction accident, we can help protect you from being injured again. In addition to helping ensure you receive the medical you need to physically heal, we can also help you protect yourself against any possible retaliation. You do not need to be afraid of being fired or other negative actions from your employer.
