Finding a construction accident attorney in Austin
Looking for a construction accident lawyer near you in Austin? Texas builds more than any state — and loses more construction workers than any state, too. When a job site injury involves a negligent subcontractor, driver, or equipment maker, more than workers' comp may apply. A participating Austin attorney may offer a free consultation.
Construction Accident cases in Austin
Construction never stops in Austin — new homes, towers, and warehouses rise across Travis County alongside explosive tech-driven growth and Interstate 35 congestion. Falls from height, struck-by and caught-between incidents, electrocutions, trench collapses, and equipment failures injure workers and bystanders alike.
If your employer carries workers' comp, it generally covers you — and negligent third parties can face separate claims on top. If your employer is a non-subscriber, you may be able to sue the employer directly, and it cannot blame you for partial fault. A participating Texas law firm may review your Austin accident and explain every path.
Common Austin construction accident situations
- Falls from scaffolds, ladders, and roofs
- Struck-by and caught-between equipment incidents
- Electrocutions and trench or structural collapses
- Bystanders injured near active job sites

Why quick action matters in Texas
Texas generally allows two years from the date of injury to file a personal injury lawsuit, but much shorter deadlines can apply to claims involving a government entity — formal notice is generally required within six months, and some city charters shorten that to 30–90 days. Evidence also fades quickly. This is general information, not legal advice; a participating law firm can explain the deadlines that apply to you.

Common questions
Is this a law firm?

How long do I have to file a claim in Texas?
Texas generally allows two years from the date of injury to file a personal injury lawsuit, but much shorter deadlines can apply to claims involving a government entity — formal notice is generally required within six months, and some city charters require it in as little as 30 to 90 days. This is general information, not legal advice. A participating law firm can explain the deadlines that apply to you.
My employer doesn't have workers' comp — what now?
In Texas that makes them a 'non-subscriber' — you may be able to sue the employer directly for negligence, and the law strips them of defenses like blaming your own carelessness. A participating law firm can review whether that applies. This is general information, not legal advice.
How much is a construction accident case worth in Austin?
There's no set amount — it depends on your injuries, medical treatment, lost income, and how it happened. A participating Texas law firm can review your Austin situation and explain what a claim or settlement might involve. This is general information, not legal advice, and no outcome is guaranteed.
Should I accept the insurance company's first offer in Austin?
Be careful — first offers often come before the full extent of injuries and losses is known, and accepting generally ends the claim. A participating Texas law firm can review whether an offer reflects your Austin situation. This is general information, not legal advice.
How long does a construction accident case take in Austin?
It varies widely — some matters resolve in months, while disputed cases can take a year or more. Acting early, preserving evidence, and getting treatment documented all help. A participating Texas law firm can give you a realistic sense after reviewing your Austin situation. No outcome is guaranteed.
