Construction Accidents
The Law Office of James M.
Stanley is
a Fort Worth, Texas law firm is dedicated to providing high quality legal
services to Texans who have suffered personal injuries related to construction
accidents. We have helped many clients from the Fort Worth area, including
Tarrant and Johnson counties, recover the compensation necessary to recover
from their injuries.
Construction sites
are by their nature, very dangerous. The danger of construction site accidents
is significantly increased when routine safety precautions are ignored. Our
Texas construction accident attorneys are dedicated to helping people injured
in construction site accidents due to gross negligence.
Almost one third
of all construction worker deaths are caused by falls. In many cases, the
equipment designed to protect workers from falls is not used, or is misused.
Many of the deaths and injuries resulting from construction site accident could
have been prevented had proper training and supervision been provided.
Construction
companies are responsible for inspecting construction sites and to provide
employees with safety training programs, and assure safety equipment is used
properly. Owners, insurance companies, and equipment manufacturers can be held
legally responsible when routine safety measures are not taken, or fail to
protect construction workers from falls or dangerous and defective equipment.
In Texas
when a construction worker is hurt on the job, worker's compensation pays the
cost of the injury, if the employer has is a worker's compensation insurer.
However, if a third party, such as a subcontractor or equipment manufacturer,
caused the accident a claim can be brought against the third party. A claim can
also be brought against an employer who does not subscribe to Texas worker's
compensation insurances.
Texas
