Working in construction is inherently hazardous on any job site. Even experienced workers following rigorous safety protocols still face risks of serious injuries from equipment failures, site conditions, improper training, and simple bad luck. If you or someone you care about has suffered a catastrophic injury in a Midland construction accident, you need strong legal representation on your side to fight for the maximum compensation you deserve.
The dedicated Texas construction accident attorneys at Zinda Law Group have helped hundreds of Texas workers and families obtain settlements following preventable job site injuries and fatalities caused by negligence. If someone else bears responsibility for your suffering, we can help.
Common Causes of Construction Accidents in Midland, Texas
While some workplace hazards may be unavoidable in construction, experts agree most serious injuries and deaths could be prevented with proper precautions, enforcement of codes, adequate worker training, and well-maintained equipment.
Falls consistently account for over one-third of construction worker deaths and are also the top cause of injuries. Collapses of trenches, scaffolding, and unfinished structures also rank high on the list of accident causes. Some other common contributors to construction accidents include:
- Faulty or missing fall protection
- Lack of head protection
- Failure to provide protective equipment
- Poor lighting or visibility
- Defective tools, generators, scaffolding, ladders, or other equipment
- Improper machine guarding
- Failure to mark excavation sites or trenches
- Incorrect use of equipment such as forklifts, cranes or backhoes
- Electrocution from loose wires or power lines
While accident risks can never be fully eliminated on active construction sites, experts agree conscientious monitoring, strict enforcement of OSHA and EPA regulations, and a culture of open communication regarding hazards could prevent up to 90% of worker injuries.

Depending on factors like the distance of a fall or the amount of exposure to live electrical currents, some construction accidents cause relatively minor wounds or soreness, while others lead to permanent disability or death. Some of the most common serious construction injuries include:
- Traumatic brain damage or concussion
- Internal bleeding or organ damage
- Spinal cord trauma leading to paralysis
- Amputated fingers, hands, arms or legs
- Third and fourth-degree burns over large areas of the body
- Crushed limbs or bodily organs
- Broken bones or fractures in the arms, legs, back, or neck
- Ruptured spinal discs
- Partial or total blindness
- Permanent scarring or disfigurement
Getting proper emergency care can reduce the lasting impacts of catastrophic job site injuries. However, many construction accident victims still face extensive rehabilitation periods involving multiple surgeries, prosthetic limbs, wheelchairs, and years of physical therapy just to regain basic functioning. Some are left totally and permanently disabled. Sadly, many families lose loved ones every year in preventable construction accidents that could have been avoided with proper safety protocols.

Recovering physically and getting your life back on track after experiencing catastrophic construction injuries is challenging enough without having ongoing financial anxieties piling on even more stress. Between extensive medical bills, expensive physical rehabilitation costs, mortgage payments, daily living expenses, and providing for your family while out of work indefinitely – the bills can mount up quickly for injury victims. This terrible situation is made even worse if negligent parties deny responsibility and refuse reasonable compensation offers.
This is precisely why it is so vitally important for injured Midland, Texas, construction workers, or grieving families of workers killed in preventable accidents to secure legal representation from our group of qualified Midland personal injury attorneys as soon as possible after a catastrophe. An experienced attorney can handle the complicated investigations, negotiations, and litigation necessary to have any chance at being made whole again.
With knowledgeable legal representation fighting for you throughout the claims process, financial recovery could be pursued for:
- Past and future medical expenses
- Costs of prescription medications
- Rehabilitative therapy and assistive devices
- Reduced earning capacity or total loss of future income
- Pain, suffering, and emotional distress
- Wrongful death compensation for surviving family members
Navigating legal processes, accident investigations, negotiations with insurance carriers, determinations around shared fault, and proving liability are extremely complex without an attorney’s assistance. Attempting a construction accident injury claim alone against teams of experienced corporate defense lawyers almost always ends poorly for victims. Why risk being taken advantage of or not getting full coverage for your losses?
