A construction injury can leave you shaken and unsure of what to do next. Taking the right steps early on can make a big difference in your recovery - and your ability to file a successful claim. Here’s what to do:
Your health comes first. Even if your injuries seem minor, see a doctor right away. Some symptoms can take hours or days to appear.
Let your supervisor or site manager know what happened as soon as possible. Be sure the incident is officially documented.
If you're able, take photos of the scene, your injuries, and anything that may have contributed to the accident - like unsafe equipment or missing safety gear.
If anyone saw what happened, get their names and contact information. Their statements may help support your claim.
Insurance companies or employers may ask you to give a statement or accept a quick settlement. Don’t sign anything before speaking to a lawyer.
Our Waco personal injury attorneys help you understand your rights and figure out if you’re entitled to more than just workers’ comp. You may have a claim against a third party - like a contractor, subcontractor, or equipment manufacturer.
After a construction accident, many injured workers assume that workers’ compensation is their only option - but that’s not always the case. In some situations, other parties may be legally responsible for your injuries, especially if their negligence created unsafe conditions.
Depending on the details of your case, liability could fall on:
At Biggs & Greenslade, we investigate every angle to identify all responsible parties. By exploring third-party liability, we help you pursue the maximum compensation available - not just what workers’ comp allows.
If you’ve been injured on the job at a construction site, you may be eligible to file a workers’ compensation claim - but in Texas, it’s not always guaranteed because Texas doesn’t require all employers to carry workers’ comp insurance.
Here’s what you need to know:
Even if your employer has coverage, you might still have a third-party claim if someone else’s negligence contributed to your injury - like a subcontractor, equipment company, or property owner.
At Biggs & Greenslade, we’ll help you figure out which situation applies to your case, and we’ll fight for the compensation you’re entitled to.

These accidents can result in crush injuries, suffocation, or death.

After a construction accident, medical expenses can add up fast—from emergency care and surgery to ongoing treatment and rehab. We work to make sure you’re not stuck paying for injuries caused by someone else.
If your injury keeps you from working, the financial strain can hit hard. Our legal team fights to recover the income you’ve lost - and, if needed, future earnings you may miss due to long-term injury.
Injuries affect more than your body. We help you seek compensation for the physical pain, stress, and emotional toll your accident has caused.
If your injury leads to lasting changes in your life - like a disability or permanent scarring - we help make sure that impact is reflected in your compensation.

Construction sites are some of the most dangerous workplaces in Texas - and tragically, some accidents result in lives lost.
If you’ve lost a loved one in a construction-related accident, the pain is overwhelming. While nothing can replace your loss, a wrongful death lawsuit can help ease the financial burden and hold the responsible party accountable for their actions—or their negligence.
