Construction Accidents

A third-party claim may arise from a construction accident

Construction work can be physically demanding and risky work. Construction workers do their jobs from scaffolding and roofs, where the risk of falling is always present. Heavy machinery introduces risk of electrocution accidents and other potentially severe injuries. In Texas, work on oil rigs introduces the risk of explosions.

A construction site accident can be debilitating and life-changing. If you or a loved one was injured, choose a San Antonio workplace accident attorney with the experience and resources to get you the compensation you deserve. Turn to the Herrera Law Firm. We aggressively pursue claims for workers injured on the job.

Please note: The Herrera Law Firm does not accept workers' compensation cases, but does handle third-party claims related to workers' compensation.

If you were injured in a construction accident, you may be able to pursue compensation from someone other than your employer, or a third party.
