Common Causes of Construction Accidents in Austin

Construction accidents can happen in many ways, and each type comes with its own set of challenges. Common types of construction accidents we handle include:

  • Falls from heights (scaffolding, ladders, rooftops)
  • Struck-by incidents (falling objects or equipment)
  • Electrocutions (exposed wiring or faulty equipment)
  • Caught-in or caught-between accidents (machinery or collapsing structures)
  • Lack of proper safety equipment or training

These accidents often result from negligence, including inadequate safety protocols, poor site management, or defective equipment.

Who Is Responsible for a Construction Accident?

Determining liability in a construction accident can be complex, as multiple parties may be involved, including:

  • General Contractors and Subcontractors: Responsible for maintaining a safe work environment.
  • Property Owners: May be liable for unsafe conditions on the site.
  • Equipment Manufacturers: If defective machinery contributed to the accident.
  • Other Workers or Vendors: Negligence from other parties can also play a role in construction accidents.

Our team at The Stewart Law Firm will thoroughly investigate your case to identify all responsible parties and hold them accountable for your injuries.

What Compensation Can You Recover After a Construction Accident in Austin?

If you’ve been injured in a construction accident, you may be eligible for compensation, such as:

  • Medical expenses (including future treatment)
  • Lost wages and loss of earning capacity
  • Pain and suffering
  • Disability or permanent impairment
