Injured on the Job? You Have Options

Job sites are filled with potential hazards, from heavy machinery to high-risk work environments. The fast-paced nature of construction work means that injuries can happen quickly, even when precautions are taken. If you were hurt on a construction site, you may now be dealing with medical bills, lost income, and uncertainty about your next steps. At Tijerina Legal Group, we help injured workers navigate these challenges. Founded by Humberto Tijerina, our team is here to provide guidance, clarity, and support as you move forward.

What Is a Construction Accident Claim?

A construction accident claim arises when a worker is injured due to hazardous job site conditions, negligence, or failure to follow proper safety procedures. These incidents may include falls, equipment malfunctions, falling objects, or exposure to unsafe materials that can cause serious harm.

Depending on the details of your case, you may have options beyond standard workers’ compensation. Guidelines established by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) are often used to determine whether safety requirements were properly followed on the job site.

When Should You Speak With a Lawyer?

If your injury was caused by unsafe job site conditions, lack of training, or defective equipment, it is important to understand your legal options early. Construction accident cases are often more complex than they initially appear. Acting quickly helps ensure that evidence such as site conditions, equipment records, and witness statements is preserved. Many individuals begin looking for answers after a workplace injury.

—N.H.

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.
