Construction Accident Lawyers in Dallas Helping Victims Recover Compensation

A construction accident can change your life in the blink of an eye, but a dedicated Texas Construction accident lawyer can help you ensure that you obtain the benefits or compensation to which you are entitled.

Construction is one of our nation’s largest employment sectors, and it’s also one of the most dangerous. If you’ve been injured at work on the construction site, you owe it to yourself and to your claim to consult with an experienced Dallas construction accident lawyer today. These cases are often complicated, but obtaining the compensation to which you are entitled is essential to your ability to reach your fullest recovery.

Your Employer’s Duty of Care

Construction work is physically challenging and extremely dangerous, and these facts emphasize exactly how important it is for the construction company you work for to live up to its reasonable duty of care to you and to everyone else on the crew. This duty extends to all of the following:

• Ensuring that the entire crew is properly trained to do their jobs safely
• Hiring only those employees who are qualified to do the work and who demonstrate that they can do it safely
• Providing the appropriate safety equipment, maintaining that safety equipment in good condition, and ensuring that it gets used properly on the job
• Enforcing all safety policies
• Proactively searching for dangers on the site and eliminating them – or carefully accounting for them and creating appropriate warnings
• Ensuring that the equipment the crew works on and with is well maintained and functions safely

Fortunately, under Texas’ workers’ compensation statute, injured workers are entitled to benefits regardless of fault. However, when there is no worker’s compensation, you may be able to obtain compensation by filing a personal injury claim. To determine whether you can file a personal injury claim, you should discuss the facts of your case with an experienced Dallas construction accident lawyer.

Construction Accidents

What all construction accidents have in common is that they are all potentially life-threatening. When you mix heavy machinery with the heights provided by scaffolding and ladders – along with electricity and a crowded work site – it can add up to a recipe for disaster even under the best conditions. Construction accidents can take any number of forms, but the following represent some of the most common types:

• Scaffolding Accidents – Falls from heights, such as from scaffolding, are among the most common and dangerous construction accidents.
• Falling Equipment or Debris – Accidents involving tools, building materials, or debris that falls from a height, such as from scaffolding, are also extremely common and extremely dangerous.
• Crane Accidents – Cranes are massive machines that incorporate great heights, which makes the potential for deadly accidents immense.
• Forklift Accidents – Forklift accidents are extremely common accidents, and their power and weight help ensure that forklift accidents are serious.
• Fires – When heavy-duty work involving massive machines, crowded worksites, and loose electrical lines all take place at once, which is common on construction sites, dangerous fires can ensue. Further, the cramped spaces that some construction work occurs in can lead to even more deadly fires. 
• Explosions – The logistics of construction work – including the presence of highly combustible fuel – when not safely orchestrated, can lead to disastrous explosions. 
• Defective Work Equipment – When the very equipment you work with is not safe, to begin with, it puts you at a distinct safety disadvantage. Defective work equipment can be a function of faulty design, faulty manufacture, and/or inadequate maintenance. 
• “Stuck in Between Accidents “– Stuck in between accidents are a specific type of construction accident in which a worker becomes stuck in between two massive, unyielding items (which are plentiful on construction sites), such as between a piece of heavy machinery and an erected structure. These accidents are exactly as dangerous and terrifying as they sound.

Robert Alvarez and Sean Chalaki are great lawyers. My case was a fairly small one, but they treated me like a VIP... through the whole process. From my initial phone call through the successful resolution of my case, they always kept me informed about what was going on and answered all my questions. I suppose the highest praise that I can give them is that if I could go back and do it all over again, I would hire them again.read more

I can’t thank everyone at Chalaki Law enough for everything they did for me. From making sure I was alright at the... beginning of the case to meeting every expectation and answering every question I had throughout. On top of the excellent service I received I was pleasantly surprised to reach a settlement that was higher than I originally had thought. I’d highly recommend Chalaki Law and the amazing staff over and over again to each and every person seeking help with their cases. I hope I won’t be needing their services again, but if I do Chalaki Law will be the only firm I use. Thank you to Mr. Alvarez and Mr. Chalaki for making everything so seamless and for the service everyone was able to give!read more
