On job sites, a general contractor will often hire out subcontractors to oversee certain aspects of the construction job. Hiring a subcontractor can help speed up construction, but it also makes it possible for corners to be cut in a rush to get a job done.
When safety standards are relaxed, or equipment isn’t properly serviced, accidents are likely. These third parties may put money and deadlines ahead of workers’ safety and you shouldn’t have to suffer for their carelessness.
We’ll hold third parties liable for their role in your accident, whether this was due to negligence, poor training, faulty equipment, or another reason. Allow our team of seasoned legal professionals to review your case, collect and preserve evidence, and take your side.
A wrongful death lawsuit allows surviving family members of construction workers who have died on the job to sue their late family member’s employer. Losing a loved one to a construction industry accident involves incredible grief, shock, and financial worry, placing a terrible burden on survivors.
If you’ve lost a family member to a construction accident, reach out to our law firm. We have handled hundreds of wrongful death cases in Texas and have the patience, skill, and dedication to justice to make sure that your family is taken care of.
We’ll go after negligent construction companies, making sure that lost future wages, emotional pain, bills, and foreseen future expenses are considered and pursued. Allow our seasoned and respectful legal team to help you, represent your family, and give your grief a voice in court.

We’re not a high volume law firm, so we give every case special attention.
Attorney John Escamilla brings with him over 25 years of litigation experience, helping families and businesses get justice, and have a voice in court.
He’s represented workplace injury cases, personal injury cases, and product liability cases all the way up to the Texas Supreme Court, and has the patience, experience, and dedication to make sure that you are heard, and that your pain is justly compensated.
A: The cost of hiring a construction accident lawyer depends upon the complexity of your case, and how long your litigation proceeds for. We understand that many of our clients are working or middle class, and that the price of legal help can feel daunting.
This is why we seek to maximize awards, work closely with you, consider your family’s financial needs, and stay transparent regarding fees and expenses. We can also work with your family on payment options and will fight to make sure that you and your loved ones are awarded every penny that you’re owed.
A: In the State of Texas, permanent disability benefits can win you a maximum of 60% of your previous working wages. The maximum benefits period depends upon your age when the accident occurred.
To qualify for permanent disability benefits, it’s important to have ample medical evidence of a workplace disability. This is why it is crucial to call a caring and diligent law firm immediately following an injury, so that medical care can be provided, injuries can be properly documented, and evidence of the accident can be preserved.
A: If you’ve been injured in an accident, the types of compensation you may qualify for fall into two categories. The first category of damages is economic damages. These can include medical bills, wages lost, and expenses tied to your accident (such as the need to hire an Uber if your car is damaged).
The second type of damages is non-economic damages, and these include compensation for physical and emotional pain, trauma, and mental anguish. These are real damages that injured men, women, and their families endure, and they deserve monetary acknowledgment.
Determining how much you may be entitled to depends upon the circumstances and severity of your accident or injury. For a clearer picture of your legal options, contacting The Escamilla Law Firm for an initial consultation today is your best option.
A: Absolutely not! Insurance companies are known to minimize client injuries, seeking to dismiss or downplay as many aspects of your accident as possible. Once you agree to the insurance company’s offer, your pathway to fighting for greater compensation is blocked.
Allowing a practiced law firm to handle the insurance companies for you keeps your options open. It also gives you a strong and compassionate legal team preserving detailed medical evidence, determining what types of compensation your case merits, and speaking for you in court.
Don’t agree to the insurance company’s terms; their main focus is saving themselves money, not justly compensating hurting workers and families. Call The Escamilla Law Office instead, and allow us to review your case and fight on your behalf.
A: The sooner you reach out to a personal injury attorney, the better. We strongly recommend contacting an attorney within 24 hours of the accident, if possible. This helps you get fast and well-documented medical care, and allows evidence of your injury to be preserved for a jury.
The longer you wait, the more likely an insurance company will be to claim that your injury occurred later, and thereby seek to deny your claim. The faster you give The Escamilla Law Office a call, the sooner we can help you get answers, quality medical care, and a strong legal voice.
