Houston Construction Accident Lawyer
Construction accidents cause catastrophic injuries. In Houston’s booming construction industry, Sara Roque fights for injured workers and bystanders against contractors, property owners, and insurance companies.
Falls from height
The leading cause of construction fatalities. Scaffolding collapses, unsecured ladders, and unprotected edges. Sara pursues OSHA violations and contractor negligence.
Electrocution
Exposed wiring, overhead power lines, and faulty equipment. Electrical injuries at construction sites are often preventable with proper precautions. Sara pursues full compensation.
Struck by objects
Falling tools, equipment, and materials from height. Construction sites must have hard hat zones and falling object protection. Failures create liability.
Heavy equipment accidents
Crane collapses, forklift accidents, and excavator incidents. Heavy equipment operators and equipment lessors face liability for accidents.
Trench & collapse accidents
Excavation and trench collapses cause traumatic deaths. OSHA has strict cave-in protection standards. Violations create significant contractor liability.
Toxic exposure
Asbestos, silica dust, and chemical exposure at demolition and construction sites cause occupational disease. Sara handles both immediate injury and long-latency exposure claims.
WHO IS RESPONSIBLE
Identifying Liability in Houston Construction Accidents
Construction accidents involve multiple parties — general contractors, subcontractors, property owners, equipment manufacturers, and staffing agencies. Sara identifies every liable party.
General contractor
GCs have overall site safety responsibility. OSHA violations, inadequate supervision, and unsafe work conditions create GC liability even for subcontractor injuries.
Property owner
Texas premises liability applies to property owners who maintain control over a construction site. Owner-controlled insurance programs (OCIP) may also apply.
Equipment manufacturer
Defective cranes, scaffolding, and power tools create product liability claims against manufacturers — separate from the negligence claims against contractors.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes — if a party other than your employer (another contractor, property owner, equipment manufacturer) was responsible, you can sue for full damages outside workers’ comp. Sara evaluates all third-party claims.
Texas doesn’t require workers’ comp. If your employer opted out and you were injured, you can sue your employer directly for negligence without the usual workers’ comp bars. Sara handles unsubscribed employer cases.
Yes — pedestrians hit by falling debris, passersby injured by equipment, and neighboring property owners damaged by construction activity can all bring claims against the responsible contractors.
OSHA citation records are powerful evidence of negligence per se. Common violations Sara investigates: fall protection failures, electrical hazard violations, excavation safety failures, and inadequate PPE programs.
Complex construction accidents require immediate scene investigation. Sara retains accident reconstruction experts, reviews OSHA reports, and interviews witnesses before evidence disappears.
Yes — crane rental companies, crane manufacturers, and the operators each face potential liability depending on the cause: mechanical failure, improper setup, operator error, or overloading.
Immigration status does not affect your right to compensation for work injuries in Texas. Sara represents all injured workers regardless of immigration status, confidentially.
Construction injuries are often catastrophic — spinal injuries, TBI, amputations, and burns. Cases involving multiple defendants (GC + subcontractor + equipment manufacturer) can produce substantial recoveries.
