Construction sites are some of the most dangerous workplaces in Texas. When safety corners are cut, accidents happen, and the consequences can change lives in an instant.
If you were injured while working or visiting a construction site, you may have options beyond workers’ compensation. At Biggs & Greenslade, our Kaufman construction injury attorneys help injured workers and bystanders pursue claims against negligent contractors, careless property owners, equipment manufacturers, and other responsible parties.
Don’t let employers or insurance companies pressure you into settling for less. Our team is here to fight for the full compensation you need to recover.
A former U.S. Marine and district prosecutor, Kenneth Morgan Biggs is known for his relentless courtroom advocacy. He now channels that drive into helping injured construction workers fight for justice and fair compensation.
Having started his career defending insurance companies, John Greenslade knows their playbook inside and out. Today, he uses that experience to protect injured clients by getting them fair treatment and better results at the negotiating table.
With years of experience as a prosecutor, Annie Northcutt brings compassion and determination to every case. She makes sure her clients are supported throughout the legal process while she pushes for accountability.
Drawing from her background in personal injury law and public service, Morgan Broyles provides calm, capable guidance for clients navigating the aftermath of construction site accidents.
The steps you take right after a construction injury can make all the difference in your recovery and your case:
Get checked by a doctor, even if your injuries seem minor. Some conditions don’t show symptoms right away and may appear hours or days later.
Notify your supervisor, foreman, or site manager. Make sure the incident is officially recorded.
If you’re able, take photos of the scene, your injuries, and any unsafe equipment or conditions that played a role.
If coworkers or bystanders saw what happened, gather their names and contact details.
Don’t give a statement to insurance companies or employers, or accept a quick settlement before talking to a lawyer.
You may have claims beyond workers’ comp. Our Kaufman personal injury lawyers can help you understand your rights and whether you have a case against a contractor, property owner, or third party. We can help you explore every option.
Many workers assume workers’ comp is the only option, but that isn’t always the case in Texas. Depending on the circumstances, other parties may share responsibility, especially if their negligence made an unsafe work environment:
Our team investigates every possible angle to hold all responsible parties accountable. With third-party liability, you can get the full compensation you need to recover, not just what workers’ comp allows.
If you experienced an injury on a construction site, you may be able to file a workers’ comp claim. However, Texas law doesn’t require every employer to carry workers’ compensation insurance. That means your options may vary.
If someone’s negligence contributed to your injury, you may be able to file a third-party claim even if your employer has coverage.
At Biggs & Greenslade, we figure out if another subcontractor, equipment company, or property owner should be held accountable so you can get the full amount of compensation you deserve.
Such as falling from scaffolding, ladders, roofs, or elevated platforms.
Including injuries from tools, equipment, or debris that falls from above.
This can include forklift incidents, crane malfunctions, and machinery failures.
Your injury may be caused by exposed wiring, faulty equipment, or a lack of proper training.
These accidents can be severe, causing crushing injuries, suffocation, and even death.
Often caused by gas leaks, poor storage of flammable materials, or electrical hazards.
These accidents happen when workers are pinned between heavy machinery, materials, or structures.
From emergency room visits and surgeries to physical therapy and long-term care, medical bills after a construction accident pile up quickly. We work to ensure you aren’t left covering the cost of injuries caused by someone else’s negligence.
When an injury takes you out of work, the financial impact can be overwhelming. Our team fights to recover your lost wages, and if your injury affects your ability to work in the future, we pursue compensation for that too.
A serious injury changes more than your health. We seek damages for the physical pain, stress, and emotional strain your accident has caused.
Disabilities, scarring, or other lasting effects should be fully recognized in your claim. We make sure these life-changing impacts are accounted for in your compensation.
No two cases are alike. We take the time to understand how your injury has altered your life so we can pursue the maximum recovery possible. If you’ve been hurt in a construction accident, our Kaufman personal injury lawyers are ready to stand up for you.
Construction accidents aren’t always limited to workers’ comp. You may also have a claim against a subcontractor, property owner, or even an equipment manufacturer. We make sure no potential path to compensation is overlooked.
Deadlines, paperwork, and insurance statements can all make or break your case. Our Kaufman, TX, construction accident lawyers help you avoid common mistakes that could weaken your claim.
Insurance adjusters are trained to pay out as little as possible. We handle them directly, standing firm against lowball offers so you can focus on recovery.
We look at the full picture: medical expenses, lost wages, ongoing care, pain, and long-term impacts. Then we fight to recover the full amount you need to move forward.
Don’t face a construction injury claim alone. With our team by your side, you’ll have experienced advocates who know the law, know your rights, and know how to win.
Sadly, some construction accidents result in fatal injuries. If you’ve lost a loved one, you may have the right to file a wrongful death claim.
We handle these cases with compassion and determination, helping families seek justice while easing financial burdens.
In Texas, spouses, children, and parents may file a wrongful death claim to recover compensation for their loved one’s accident. These claims can help you recover:
At Biggs & Greenslade, we understand how difficult a time this is for you and your family. That’s why we take care to handle all cases with compassion to bring your family closure, justice, and financial support. Contact our Kaufman wrongful death lawyers to explore your options.
Most construction accident injury claims in Texas must be filed within two years of the accident. Waiting too long could mean losing your right to compensation.

A construction can change your entire life, but you don’t have to handle it alone.
