Third-Party Responsibility for a Construction Accident? Nederland TX Work Injury Attorneys

If you have been injured in a Nederland TX construction accident while on the job, you may be familiar with the workers’ compensation process. However, if the recklessness of an outside party caused your injury, then the best course of action may be to file a third-party personal injury claim.

Working with Nederland TX work injury attorneys at Carabin Shaw will ensure you don’t miss an opportunity to win compensation from an at-fault third party. These claims provide a path towards winning benefits and compensation you can't usually access through workers’ compensation alone. Call 800-862-1260 today to schedule your free case review and see what we can do for you.

Third-party claims can be pursued when someone who is not part of a construction site team or is not directly involved with your business is at fault in some way for the damages you have suffered in a construction accident. So long as they contributed to your injuries somehow, they can be held liable.

Notably, the Texas State Labor Code dictates that an injured worker can seek third-party construction accident liability in Texas while also pursuing a worker compensation claim.

Because of how broad the designation of a “third party” is, numerous circumstances can provide you with the opportunity to seek compensation from more than just workers’ compensation. Some examples of liable parties after a Nederland TX construction accident include:

Construction jobs in Nederland can require extensive travel. Whether a worker is transporting materials between a storage site and construction zone, traveling between sites, or on the road for another reason, dangerous collisions can occur at any moment.

If your accident involves an auto collision while you were on the job, and other drivers contributed, they can be held liable for your damages. Schedule a free case review with our expert staff to learn more about who can be held liable in construction zone auto collisions.

Rarely are construction zones owned, in any way, by Nederland construction workers. Private properties, roadways, public malls and parks, and other locations are commonly owned by entities outside a construction company.

Such property owners are required to inform workers of any and all dangerous conditions. In situations where they have failed to do so, and injuries have occurred, a construction accident attorney with Carabin Shaw will fight for the compensation you are owed.

Forklifts, bulldozers, wheel loaders, and other machines are vital tools in any Nederland construction project. However, these machines are not always manufactured well.

In cases where a machinery malfunction caused your accident, our team can help you to identify its manufacturers and hold them accountable.

There are many paths to full compensation after an accident involving a third party, and the attorneys at Carabin Shaw are ready to help you find every one of them.

The most important aspect of a third-party claim is that it allows you, as an accident victim, to win compensation for damages that workers’ compensation does not cover. The funds that our English and Spanish-speaking lawyers can help you win compensation for include:

• All losses to past and current wages
• Lost earning potential
• Pain and suffering
• Loss of quality of life

And other damages. Because the statute of limitations for such claims is two years, according to the Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code, working quickly to win your maximum compensation is essential. Visit our client reviews for evidence of how we have supported clients.
