How Construction Accident Compensation Works

Texas is unique to many states in the country as they do not require employers to carry worker’s compensation.

If you were injured on a construction site,  you will likely default to worker’s compensation which covers your past and future medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering.

This is usually the easiest path to recovering for your injuries and damages, but it is not always available.

If workers compensation is not available, you will need to hire a personal injury attorney to pursue a third-party construction claim against whomever was responsible for your injuries.

With a third-party claim, you have to prove your injuries were caused by their negligence.
