Construction sites are inherently dangerous, but many accidents occur due to preventable safety failures, inadequate oversight, or violations of OSHA regulations. Our McAllen construction accident attorneys have represented clients injured in nearly every type of incident, including:
Whether from ladders, scaffolding, rooftops, or unguarded edges, falls remain the number one cause of fatal construction injuries. These accidents are often linked to missing harnesses, lack of guardrails, or poor safety training — all of which may expose the employer or contractor to liability.
Tools, unsecured building materials, or debris dropped from above can strike workers below, causing traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord damage, or fatal blunt force trauma. We investigate whether worksite supervisors followed proper securing and zone control procedures.
Bulldozers, forklifts, backhoes, and cranes require specialized training to operate safely. When employers cut corners on training or maintenance, catastrophic equipment failures and crushing injuries can result. These cases often involve complex liability shared between multiple parties.
Contact with overhead power lines, exposed wiring, or faulty equipment frequently leads to severe burns, cardiac damage, and even death. Many of these incidents result from inadequate site planning or failure to follow basic lockout/tagout protocols.
Excavation sites pose life-threatening risks when trenches aren’t properly shored or supported. A sudden collapse can trap and suffocate workers in seconds. These cases often involve violations of federal trenching safety standards.
Workers can become pinned between machinery, structural elements, or vehicles. These accidents often lead to crush injuries, amputations, or death, especially when safeguards like machine guards and emergency shutoffs are missing or defective.
Construction zones often involve flammable chemicals, gas lines, or live electrical systems. Without proper hazard management, even a single spark can trigger a devastating fire or explosion. Victims may suffer third-degree burns, respiratory damage, or permanent disfigurement.
Regardless of how the injury occurred, our legal team will conduct a thorough investigation, gather evidence, and identify every responsible party — whether it's a negligent subcontractor, an equipment manufacturer, or a general contractor that failed to enforce site-wide safety protocols.
Our McAllen construction accident lawyers manage claims, court deadlines, and tough insurers from start to finish so you can focus on healing. Get fast answers and a free consultation — message us or call.

Construction sites are complex environments with multiple parties sharing responsibility. Depending on your case, liable parties may include:

Under Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code § 16.003, you typically have two years from the date of your injury to file a lawsuit. However, this deadline can vary depending on:

Yes. Texas follows modified comparative fault. As long as you were less than 51% responsible, you may still recover damages (reduced by your share of fault).
Sometimes. While workers’ compensation may limit claims against your employer, you may have the right to sue third parties (e.g., subcontractors, equipment manufacturers, at-fault drivers if you were traveling for work).
You may be eligible to file a wrongful death or survival action. We can guide you through this emotionally difficult process with care and diligence.
