Construction sites are among the most dangerous workplaces in Texas. Heavy machinery, elevated work areas, falling objects, electrical hazards, and unsafe job site conditions can cause catastrophic injuries in a matter of seconds. If you were injured in a construction accident in San Marcos or anywhere in Hays County because of another party’s negligence, you may be entitled to compensation beyond workers’ compensation benefits.
At Sergi & Associates, P.C., we represent injured construction workers, subcontractors, and bystanders who have suffered serious injuries due to unsafe construction site conditions. Our legal team works diligently to hold negligent property owners, contractors, subcontractors, equipment manufacturers, and other responsible parties accountable while pursuing the compensation our clients need to move forward.
Common Causes of Construction Site Accidents
Construction projects involve multiple companies working simultaneously, making safety a shared responsibility. When safety regulations are ignored or equipment is improperly maintained, devastating accidents can occur.
Common causes of construction site injuries include:
- Falls from ladders, scaffolding, or rooftops
- Falling tools, materials, or debris
- Crane and heavy equipment accidents
- Forklift and machinery collisions
- Electrocution from exposed wiring
- Trench and excavation collapses
- Defective safety equipment
- Inadequate job site supervision or safety training
These accidents often result in traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, broken bones, burns, amputations, and other life changing injuries requiring extensive medical treatment and rehabilitation.
