Injured on a Houston construction site? Leatherwood Law will fight
for the compensation you deserve.
Construction work is dangerous by nature. But when contractors cut
corners, supervisors ignore safety rules, or equipment fails, it
puts workers at serious risk. If you’ve been injured on a
construction site in Houston, you may be entitled to far more than
basic workers’ comp.
At Leatherwood Law, we help injured workers and subcontractors
pursue claims against negligent employers, site owners, and
third-party contractors. We know OSHA standards, Texas liability
law, and how to hold the right people accountable.
Whether you were hurt in a fall, struck by falling debris,
electrocuted, or caught in malfunctioning equipment—we’re here to
help you recover physically and financially.
You focus on healing. We’ll focus on getting results.

claims for electricians, framers, concrete crews, welders, and

recover money for you.

Construction Injury FAQs
Can I sue for a construction site injury in Houston?
Yes, especially when a contractor, property owner, or equipment supplier caused the hazard. Even when workers compensation exists, third-party claims can still apply.
Who can be liable besides my employer after a construction accident?
Liability can include general contractors, subcontractors, site owners, and equipment manufacturers. Jobsite control and safety responsibility are central to fault.
What evidence is important after a construction injury?
Photos of the hazard, equipment condition, and the work area are high-value evidence. Witness contacts, safety reports, and medical records are also key to proving causation and damages.
How long do I have to file a construction injury lawsuit in Texas?
Most Texas injury lawsuits must be filed within two years of the injury date. Early investigation matters because jobsite conditions change quickly.
