Construction Accident Attorney in Waco
Serious Injuries Call for Experienced Legal Aid
It is no secret that construction work is dangerous.
In fact, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) went so far as to release a list of the “fatal four” types of construction accidents:
- Falls
- Electrocutions
- Being struck by an object
- Being trapped between objects
According to OSHA Chief David Michaels, more construction workers die in Texas than in any other state per year. Having a job to support you and your loved ones should not come at the cost of your health.

Challenge of Determining Liability
In order to pursue compensation, it is necessary to identify which party is responsible for the negligence that led to your injury.
Construction accidents can be due to the actions of one or more of the following:
- Company you work for
- Owner of the property
- Manufacturer of the relevant equipment
- Company in charge of maintaining equipment
- Architects or engineers
In order to identify and adequately prove which party is responsible, it is essential you rely on an experienced Waco construction lawyer. At Rainey & Rainey, we know what to look for to establish liability and how to gather the necessary evidence to build your case.
Types of Claims
There are four main types of construction accident claims:
- Workers’ Comp: If your employer has workers’ compensation insurance, you will not be able to file a lawsuit against them. However, if we are able to prove your injury occurred on the job, you will be able to secure compensation through this means.
- Personal injury: If a third party such as the property owner or equipment manufacturer was responsible for your injury, you can file a lawsuit against them to secure additional reparations.
- Product liability: If a defective product caused your injury, you can pursue reparations from the party who manufactured the product.
- Wrongful death: If a worker is killed from an accident that occurred at his or her workplace, the family members are eligible to file a wrongful death claim against the responsible party.
