We designed this website to provide information to consumers, injured people, and their families. Our goal is to level the playing field between consumers and insurance companies and expose the tricks, traps, and techniques they use to cheat injured people out of their legal rights. We also let consumers know about legal news, including verdicts and settlements and other interesting legal information.
But please understand that nothing on this website is meant to provide legal information about your specific case, create an attorney-client relationship, or imply that the results of your legal case will be the same as some other case.
According to the U.S. Department of Labor, one construction worker dies every 2 ½ days, and no other state has a higher rate of construction-related deaths. In 2007, 142 deaths were reported.
These statistics, highlighted in Melissa del Bosque's article, Dying to Build- Why Texas is the deadliest state for construction workers, go along with the problems she blames on sub-standard enforcement of labor laws, too many overtime hours worked without breaks, and lack of safety training and equipment.
Read this startling fact on the lack of OSHA inspectors in the state of Texas:
According to a 2008 report by the AFL-CIO, Death on the Job, it would take the 177 OSHA inspectors 144 years to visit every workplace in the state at least once."
If you or someone you know has suffered an injury on the job, contact construction accident injury lawyer Brian Beckcom immediately at 877.724.7800.
