How We Prove Liability

Construction accident claims often involve multiple liable parties including the general contractor, subcontractors, property owners, and equipment manufacturers. OSHA citations issued after a construction accident serve as powerful evidence that safety standards were violated. The general contractor typically has overall responsibility for site safety, and evidence of inadequate safety training, missing fall protection, and ignored OSHA requirements establishes strong negligence claims.

Texas Legal Framework

OSHA construction safety standards under 29 CFR 1926 are enforced in Texas and establish specific requirements for fall protection, scaffolding, trenching, and electrical safety on construction sites. Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code Section 95.003 limits the liability of property owners for injuries to employees of independent contractors in some circumstances, but this protection does not apply when the owner exercises control over the work or has actual knowledge of the danger. Texas Labor Code provisions regarding nonsubscriber employers are especially relevant in the construction industry where many employers do not carry workers compensation.

Frequently Asked Questions

At Medina & Medina, we work on a contingency fee basis. This means you pay nothing upfront and no fees unless we win your case. Our fee is a percentage of your recovery.

In Texas, you generally have two years from the date of your injury to file a personal injury lawsuit. However, there are exceptions that may shorten or extend this deadline, so it’s important to consult with an attorney as soon as possible.

You may be entitled to compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, loss of enjoyment of life, and in some cases, punitive damages. The amount depends on the specific circumstances of your case.

While you’re not required to have a lawyer, having experienced legal representation typically results in higher settlements. Insurance companies have teams of lawyers working for them, and you deserve someone advocating for your interests too.

Compensation depends on the severity of your injuries, medical expenses, lost wages, and impact on your life. Contact Medina & Medina for a free evaluation of your case.
