Personal Injury Law

Three men working on a high-rise construction project in Austin, Texas died when the scaffolding they were working on collapsed and sent them plunging to the ground several stories below. The families of the deceased men are now coping with the loss of their loved ones.

Wrongful deaths and construction accidents are very difficult to deal with, which is why an experienced personal injury lawyer in your area can help you recover the compensation you need. With a construction accident or wrongful death claim, you can get compensation for medical bills, funeral costs, loss of income and other damages.

The men who died in the construction accident were immigrant workers who supported their Latin American families by working in Austin, Texas. At this point, it is unclear which construction company working on the apartment building employed the three men. While police investigate the accident, work has been cut back on the construction site.

While there are several possible reasons as to why the construction accident happened, police are looking into whether or not the scaffolding was defective.
