San Antonio Wrongful Death Lawsuit Following a Construction Work Injury

Statistically, the Texas workers who are most likely to suffer fatal accidents on the job site are construction workers. Despite the crucial function these workers provide in building and maintaining our city, many San Antonio families are left grieving when their loved one is lost working on a dangerous construction site. Many consider filing a San Antonio wrongful death lawsuit following a construction work injury to alleviate some of the hardships of this loss.

What are the most common dangers San Antonio construction workers face on the job? Because of dangerous equipment, heavy machinery, and construction vehicles, a simple accident on these job sites can result in severe injury. This likelihood is compounded when a construction company is negligent in maintaining safety standards on the job site.

The most common causes of construction site accidents in San Antonio include:

• Cranes
• Power tools
• Construction vehicles
• Slips and falls
• Electrocution
• Ground collapses
• Negligent coworkers

In most cases, fatalities on construction sites are caused by blunt force trauma to the head, neck, or spine. However, there are thousands of ways a worker can be injured on a San Antonio construction site– whatever caused your loved one’s fatal injury, you deserve to hold the responsible parties accountable for your loss.

Have you lost a loved one in a construction work site accident? You are not alone. Thousands of family members have sought justice for the death of their loved ones on a Texas construction site.

While nothing can compensate for the loss of your loved one, the state of Texas allows surviving family members to file a wrongful death lawsuit to seek financial compensation.

In order to file a wrongful death lawsuit against your loved one’s employer, your San Antonio wrongful death lawyer must determine:

• The construction company’s negligence caused dangerous conditions on the job site
• These dangerous conditions lead to the death of your loved one
• You have suffered losses as a result (financial or emotional)

In a wrongful death lawsuit, the surviving family members (the victim’s spouse, children, parents, or siblings) can receive compensation to cover certain economic and non-economic losses. For example, economic losses might include things like funeral costs or loss of a primary earner’s wages. Non-economic losses would include the emotional pain and trauma of losing a loved one.

In order to hold a negligent employer accountable, you will need plenty of evidence to establish a record of irresponsible behavior. When you hire an experienced injury attorney, they will conduct a thorough investigation of your loved one’s accident, reviewing security footage, insurance claims, medical records, witness testimonies and other relevant documentation. Compiling this evidence will establish the liability of your loved one’s employer, allowing you to file a wrongful death suit against them.
