Irving TX Serious Construction Zone Accident: Who's Responsible for My Injuries?

Home to roughly 250,000 people, Irving, Texas is a small city at the heart of the Dallas-Fort Worth Metropolitan area. With a population of just over 8 million, this bustling metroplex is the fourth-largest metropolitan area in the United States. Despite these already staggering figures, Dallas-Fort Worth is also the fastest-growing metro area in the country. What does this mean for residents of Irving, Texas? One word: construction.

Road and building construction bring innovation, jobs, and prosperity to the area, but they also bring noise, congestion, and an increased risk of accidental injury. In fact, in 2022 there were more work zone crashes in Dallas County, where Irving is located, than any other county in Texas. If you have been injured, hiring an experienced attorney and determining who is liable for a Irving TX construction zone accident are pivotal components of your legal case.

Far better than receiving a big payout from your legal battle after a life changing injury, is to avoid the accident in the first place. Construction sites are inherently risky. With so many people, large moving equipment, and constantly changing traffic patterns, it is easy for workers and pedestrians to suffer due to negligence.

Some of the most common construction zone accidents include:

• Trips, slips, and falls
• Struck-by and caught-between incidents
• Electrocution, fire, and explosions
• Overexertion
• Exposure to chemicals and toxic environments

Overexertion typically impacts construction site workers, but these other accidents can have a devastating and life-changing impact on individuals walking, biking, or driving through the construction zone. If this has happened to you, your best chance at determining who’s responsible and getting just compensation is by working with our experienced Irving Texas car accident attorneys at Carabin Shaw. Call our English and Spanish-speaking representatives 24/7 to set up your free consultation.

If your injuries were the result of your own negligence, you may not have a legal case. However, if your injuries were even partially the result of the negligence of another party or parties, you should reach out to an Irving TX construction zone accident lawsuit attorney immediately.

Responsible parties could include:

• Government Agencies - If the local municipality is overseeing the job, they may be liable for your injuries.
• The Construction Company and its Employees - The construction company owes those passing through their site a duty of care. If they, or one of their employees, neglected to do this, they are responsible for accidents when they happen.
• Third-Parties - Many different people are responsible for maintaining a safe work environment. If, for example, your injuries were caused by faulty equipment, you may have grounds for a lawsuit against the manufacturer.
• Other Drivers - If a driver strikes you in a construction zone and it was fully or even partially due to their wrongdoing, you may have a personal injury case against them.

Your injuries may result from a combination of these and you may even be partially to blame. In such complex situations it is paramount that you enlist a knowledgeable and experienced Irving Texas construction accident attorney. Their knowhow can mean the difference between receiving just compensation or being awarded less than you deserve — or, even worse, being held liable for someone else’s injuries.
