Large machinery, heavy equipment and high work areas create dangerous working environments for those who work in the construction field. As building and construction continues to grow, so will the number of on-the-job accidents. Austin, Texas construction accident lawyers, Gonzales & Gonzales are experienced in representing clients who have sustained a serious injury as a result of a construction accident.

Some common accidents that can occur on a construction site include:

• Fires or explosions
• Burn injuries and electrocution
• Construction equipment defects
• Falls from unsafe ladders and scaffolding
• Inadequate hazard warnings
• Unsafe premises
• OSHA violations

If you are a construction worker who has been injured on the job, you must immediately notify your supervisor of your injuries. If you are a pedestrian or driver who has been injured by a construction accident, you should contact the supervisor of the construction crew and the owner of the premises and tell them you are seeking medical attention and retaining a lawyer.
