Insurance companies and employers often try to limit payouts, but you don’t have to settle for less. Our Henderson legal team is ready to fight for the full compensation you deserve.

After a construction injury, you may feel shaken and unsure of what to do. By taking the right steps early, you can make a big difference in your recovery and your ability to file a successful claim.
See a doctor as soon as you can after your accident, even if your injuries seem minor.
Inform your supervisor or site manager of the incident as soon as possible to get it officially documented.
If you’re able, take pictures of the scene, your injuries, and other contributing factors like unsafe equipment or missing safety gear.
If there are witnesses who saw what happened, note their names and contact information. You can support your claim with their statements.
You may be asked by insurance companies or employers to give a statement or accept a quick settlement. Don’t do anything without speaking to a lawyer first.
Our Henderson personal injury attorneys walk you through the process so you can understand your rights and find all the compensation you’re entitled to. If you have a claim against a third party like a contractor, subcontractor, or equipment manufacturer, we’re here to guide you.
While many workers assume workers’ comp is their only option after a construction accident, that’s not always true. Sometimes other parties are legally responsible if they were negligent or created unsafe conditions that caused your accident.
Depending on your case, liability could be placed on:
You may be eligible for a workers’ comp claim if you experienced a construction accident and were injured. However, Texas does not require all employers to carry workers’ comp insurance, so the process of getting the care you need may be more difficult.
Even if your employer does have coverage, there’s still a potential that you have a third-party claim due to someone’s negligence.
If a subcontractor, equipment company, or property owner’s negligence contributed to your injury, our team will help you figure out if you have a case and fight to get you all the compensation you deserve.
You can experience falls from scaffolding, ladders, roofs, or elevated platforms.
If you experience an injury caused by tools, equipment, or debris dropped from above, you may be entitled to compensation.
This can include accidents from forklift incidents, crane malfunctions, and machinery failures.
You may experience electrocution caused by exposed wiring, faulty equipment, or a lack of training.
Injuries from trench or building collapses can result in crush injuries, suffocation, and death.
Fires and explosions can be caused by gas leaks, poor storage of flammable materials, and electrical hazards.
You may be pinned between heavy machinery, materials, or structures.
From the ER to long-term rehabilitation, medical bills can pile up fast. We fight to make sure you aren’t stuck paying for injuries someone else caused.

Construction sites carry serious risks, and tragically, some accidents end in the loss of life.
If you’ve lost a family member in a construction accident, the grief is immeasurable. While no legal action can truly make up for that loss, pursuing a wrongful death claim can provide financial stability for your family and hold negligent parties accountable for what happened.
Under Texas law, the surviving spouse, parents, or children of the deceased may bring a wrongful death claim. These cases can help recover compensation for:
At Biggs & Greenslade, we handle wrongful death cases with both determination and compassion. We understand how deeply this impacts your family, and we are committed to helping you seek justice and the financial support you need to move forward.
After a construction accident, acting quickly is crucial. Texas law gives most victims just two years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury lawsuit.
That deadline begins immediately after your injury. Waiting too long could mean losing your right to pursue compensation. Biggs & Greenslade makes sure your claim is filed on time and fights to protect your recovery every step of the way.
