The Leon Law Firm, P.C. handles personal injury and wrongful death cases involving construction site safety issues on behalf of injured construction workers in the Houston metropolitan area and throughout Fort Bend, Harris, Montgomery, Brazoria, and Galveston counties.
Contact us if your construction site accident case was the result of:

Because of the way in which the workers' compensation system is set up in Texas, workers are not allowed to file personal injury lawsuits against their employers unless their particular employer has chosen not to pay into the system. These claims are called "non-subscriber" cases.
When the employer has workers' compensation insurance, this policy is the injured worker's only recourse to obtain compensation for a workplace accident, unless that accident was caused by the negligence of a third party or a defective product.
Our Houston injury law firm can quickly determine whether this is an option available in your case, and if so, will move forward with your claim as rapidly as possible. And while the legal side of your case progresses, personal injury lawyer Carlos A. Leon will do everything we can to help you get through your time away from work. This includes assistance in resolving medical liens incurred while covering your ongoing medical expenses, resolving transportation issues, and help with other hardships you may face.
For efficient and effective legal help after a serious or fatal construction site accident, contact The Leon Law Firm, P.C. for a free consultation with an experienced Houston construction accident lawyer.
