Sugar Land Construction Accident Lawyer

Skilled Counsel for Injured Construction Workers in Texas

Construction is one of the most dangerous fields, according to the Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA). Based off information presented by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), one in five worker fatalities in 2014 occurred at construction sites. Falls, electrocution, struck by object and caught-in/between were the "Fatal Four" leading causes of construction worker deaths, accounting for more than half of fatalities. Falls accounted for nearly 40% of these construction fatalities.

Construction accidents may be caused by worker negligence, improper implementation of construction safety guidelines or defective equipment. In any such scenario, we at The West Law Firm may be able to help.

Construction Equipment Defects: Dangerous & Deadly

In an inherently dangerous environment like a construction site, a defective piece of equipment can easily cause a catastrophe. Defective equipment is a primary focus of our firm's construction accident practice. A tool, machine or even piece of safety equipment can cause catastrophic injury if it is poorly designed or has a manufacturing defect that impacts its effectiveness. We can help with construction equipment defects involving scaffolding, nail guns, excavators, bulldozers, cranes, forklifts, saws and cutting blades, and more.

With a background in engineering along with Board Certification in personal injury law, Attorney S. Scott West is positioned to provide the highest quality legal counsel in these complex cases. He understands how to fight manufacturers, distributors and other at-fault parties to seek money for medical bills, lost earnings and the many other losses the injured experience.
