Injured on the Job? You Have Options

Construction work involves constant movement, heavy equipment, and elevated surfaces, all of which increase the risk of injury. Even when safety precautions are in place, dangerous conditions can still develop quickly and lead to unexpected harm.

If you were injured while working on a construction site, you may be facing medical expenses, lost wages, and uncertainty about your future. At Tijerina Legal Group, our team of construction accident attorneys in Brownsville helps workers move forward with confidence. Founded by Humberto Tijerina, our team is committed to guiding you through each step of the process.

What Is a Construction Accident Claim?

A construction accident claim develops when a worker suffers injuries due to unsafe conditions, lack of proper oversight, or failure to follow required safety protocols. These cases can involve serious incidents such as falls, malfunctioning equipment, falling materials, or exposure to hazardous environments.

In certain situations, injured workers may have legal options that extend beyond workers’ compensation benefits. Safety standards enforced by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) are often used to evaluate whether appropriate precautions were in place at the time of the accident.

When Should You Speak With a Lawyer?

If your injury was caused by unsafe working conditions, insufficient safety measures, or defective equipment, it is important to evaluate your rights as soon as possible. Construction accident claims often involve multiple layers of responsibility.

Taking early action allows key evidence—such as site conditions, equipment data, and witness accounts—to be preserved. Many individuals begin looking for answers after a workplace injury, and speaking with a legal team early can help you move forward with confidence.

Reaching out to the Tijerina Legal Group was one of the best decisions that week

Having your minor child be involved in a vehicle collision is one of the scariest moments as a parent. I’ll never forget his phone call that morning and the fear in his voice. As a parent, we strive to ensure our kids bounce back from whatever hurdles they tackle and I knew I couldn’t do this alone. Reaching out to the Tijerina Legal Group was one of the best decisions that week. My son was in pain and I knew I couldn’t handle dealing with insurance claims all on my own. From the first meeting and beyond, the staff was clear, concise and so helpful. Navigating the legal system alone would have surely overwhelmed me but I had the amazing Tijerina group standing strong on my behalf as I worked to help my son recover after his accident. I’m so thankful for the help and guidance and couldn’t be happier for my kiddo and the resolution he saw once our case was successfully closed.
