Construction accidents can destroy your income, your health, and your future — let us match you with an experienced Texas attorney who fights for injured workers.
A fall from scaffolding. A trench collapse. A crane malfunction. In an instant, your life changes. Medical bills pile up, paychecks stop coming, and insurance companies start looking for ways to pay you as little as possible. You're left trying to heal while fighting a system that isn't built to help you.
Construction sites are some of the most dangerous workplaces in Texas. Negligent contractors, unsafe equipment, and ignored safety codes hurt thousands of workers every year. You didn't cause this. You deserve to hold the right people accountable — and you deserve an attorney who knows exactly how to do that.
In Texas, the statute of limitations for most personal injury claims is 2 years from the date of your accident. If you miss that deadline, you may lose your right to recover anything — no matter how serious your injuries. Don't wait. The sooner you connect with an attorney, the better.
Nothing upfront. Attorneys in our network work on a contingency fee basis. That means they only get paid if they win your case. You pay nothing out of pocket to get started. Our matching service is also completely free.
First, get medical attention — even if you feel okay. Report the accident to your supervisor before you leave the site. Take photos of the scene and your injuries if you safely can. Collect contact information from any witnesses. Write down everything you remember while it's fresh. Then contact HurtMatch to get connected with an attorney as quickly as possible.
Yes. Your employment status doesn't automatically bar you from pursuing a claim. Depending on the circumstances, you may have claims against the general contractor, site owner, equipment manufacturer, or other third parties. An experienced attorney will evaluate every angle of your case.
Every case is different. Some settle in a few months once liability is clear and medical treatment is complete. Others — especially those involving serious injuries, disputed facts, or multiple defendants — can take a year or more. Your attorney will give you a realistic timeline based on your specific situation.
Texas injury law has unique rules that differ sharply from other states. Knowing them is the difference between a fair outcome and pennies on the dollar.
Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code §16.003 gives you exactly 2 years from the date of injury to file suit. Miss it and your case is over — there is no extension, no exception for "I didn't know I could sue." Wrongful death claims have the same 2-year window from the date of death.
Texas uses Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code §33.001. You can recover damages as long as you are 50% or less at fault. If you are 51%+ at fault, you recover nothing. Insurance companies know this rule and aggressively try to push fault percentages above 50%. An experienced attorney pushes back.
Texas caps non-economic damages in medical malpractice cases at $250,000 per defendant (Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code §74.301). There are no caps in standard auto, premises, or product cases — making attorney negotiation skill the deciding factor in your final number.
