Do you have a third-party liability claim?
The construction industry accounts each year for the largest number of occupational injuries and deaths across the country. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, Texas has ranked either first or second in the number of workplace injuries per year since at least 1992, and construction accidents caused the largest number of those injuries. One-forth of those accidents involved laborers, and a disproportionate percentage involved Hispanic workers.
Workers injured in construction accidents are usually entitled to Workers’ Compensation benefits, but those benefits can be very limited. Whether compensatory damages are also available depends on the often complex relationships between general contractor and subcontractors on the work site.
We will thoroughly investigate all potentially liable parties and all sources of compensation that may be available to you. Contact Hartley Hampton, P.C., and schedule a no-cost consultation to discuss how we can help.
