It seems every day there is a new construction project being built in Austin. It is exciting to see these projects rise up on the city skyline, but if you or a loved one is working on one, it can be scary as well. You may be afraid that if you report your injury that you will lose your job. You may worry about what coworkers or your supervisors will think of you. And, you may even be concerned that you will not be able to afford the medical care that you need.
Over 1,500 construction workers are killed on the job every year, and Texas ranks in the top three for the most nonfatal construction injuries in America.
If you or your loved one has suffered one of these construction injuries or even death, the construction accident attorneys promise to get you the justice you deserve for your trauma and loss.
“My construction supervisor didn’t listen to me, and now I’m injured.”
