Houston Construction Accident Attorney
Last updated on June 9, 2026
Construction sites are among the most hazardous workplaces, with workers facing dangers such as falls, machinery malfunctions and unsafe conditions. When safety regulations are ignored, serious injuries occur. My name is Rafael Quesada, and I fight for the rights of injured workers, ensuring they receive full and fair compensation.
Common Construction Accidents Leading To Injury Claims
If you work on a construction site, you know the numerous ways that you can get hurt. On many sites, there is regular training on how to avoid injury. Regardless, many of my clients still receive serious injuries from such incidents as:
- Defective equipment and machinery accidents
- Crush injuries due to collapsing structure
- Electrocution and burns from exposed wires
- Falls from scaffolding, ladders or roofs
Employers and third parties must adhere to safety regulations established by Texas OSHA laws. When they fail, you are the one left with the pain and suffering, medical bills, and loss of income. But I can help you take steps to hold them accountable for injuries caused by their negligence.
Compensation Available For Construction Injuries
If you decide to pursue compensation for your injury, you’ll be able to seek damages in two categories. The first is economic damages, which are any bills you incurred or calculable financial losses you suffered as result of the injury. These include medical treatment, rehabilitation costs, lost wages and future earnings.
The second type is noneconomic damages that describe the ways you suffered that can’t really be put into a neat set of actuarial tables; these include pain and suffering, and mental anguish.
Another potential source of compensation could be in the form of permanent disability benefits, but that’s a separate process, which I can work with you on if it becomes necessary.
Legal Options For Injured Construction Workers In Texas
While some injuries qualify for workers’ compensation, not all workers in Texas are covered. If a third party, such as a contractor, equipment manufacturer or property owner, contributed to your injury, you may be eligible to file a personal injury lawsuit for additional compensation.
As a workplace injury lawyer for construction accidents, I thoroughly investigate every case to determine liability and compensation options.
Aggressive Legal Representation For Injured Workers
A construction accident is one of the most painful and overwhelming types of injuries a person can receive on the job. Construction is extremely dangerous work, and it is necessary. As long as people need places to live and go, construction will be a part of life, and that means construction injuries are inevitable.
However, you don’t have to let that reality hurt you. You have the right as an injured person to go after what you deserve. And when you’re ready to do it, so am I. I’m on your side, and I will fight to get you the care, attention and compensation you deserve. Call my Houston office at 832-390-4537 for a free consultation or send me an email.
