Construction projects in Texas often see multiple contractors working side by side. With so many different entities involved, one contractor’s carelessness can cause serious injury to others, including workers employed by a different company. If you are hurt by a contractor on a construction site owned by someone else, you may be able to file a third-party injury claim. This would be in addition to any workers’ compensation benefits you might be eligible for.

Unfortunately, proving these claims is not always a simple, straightforward task. Liability can depend on who controlled the area, whether the property owner knew about the danger, and whether the responsible contractor was truly independent. If you want to pursue damages but find the process too complicated, do not give up. Let an experienced Irving, TX personal injury lawyer help you understand your rights and fight for the compensation you deserve.

Construction sites, warehouses, and industrial jobs often involve dangerous conditions, including heavy machinery, toxic materials, unstable structures, and more. But what happens when a bystander, not an employee, is injured due to one of these hazards? Can you still sue for damages in Texas?

The answer is yes. Someone who is not employed at the work site but is hurt by unsafe conditions may have the right to file a personal injury claim. As of July 2025, Texas law allows injured bystanders to hold negligent parties — including employers, contractors, and property owners — accountable for preventable accidents even if they were not part of the job crew. To find out whether you have a valid case, speak with a qualified Dallas, TX personal injury lawyer.

When employers carry workers’ compensation insurance through a state program, employees who are injured on the job or become ill due to job-related duties should receive benefits. These benefits are available regardless of negligence or fault. In Texas, most employers have the option to provide similar coverage through private insurance plans. Non-subscriber coverage and rules differ from workers' compensation.

Texas is also an at-will employment state, meaning that employees can be fired at any time for almost any reason. However, reporting a work injury is a protected activity, making retaliation by wrongful discharge illegal. If you have a non-subscriber work injury, it is best to contact our dedicated Carrollton, TX work accident lawyer. We can assist you with collecting the compensation you deserve and take appropriate action on your behalf to address illegal retaliation. Se Habla Español.
