McKay Law Publishes Texas Construction Safety Report

TEXAS — McKay Law, a top construction accident law firm in the state, has released an extensive new white paper analyzing the growing risks and legal challenges facing construction workers across Texas. The report aims to strengthen jobsite safety practices while helping injured workers better understand their rights when accidents occur.

The new publication, titled “Construction Accidents in Texas: A Comprehensive Analysis,” evaluates years of incident data, legal outcomes, and OSHA enforcement trends across Texas worksites — drawing attention to what the firm calls preventable dangers in one of the state’s most hazardous industries.

"Construction workers face some of the most dangerous conditions of any profession in Texas," said a spokesperson for McKay Law. "This white paper represents our commitment to not only representing injured workers but also contributing to meaningful change in construction site safety. Our research identifies the most common hazards and provides actionable recommendations for preventing accidents before they occur."

Key Insights From the Report

The white paper reveals:

• Falls from height remain the No. 1 cause of serious injuries and fatalities
• Electrocution and struck-by incidents continue to rise on large commercial and industrial projects
• Equipment failures, crane accidents, and trench collapses are tied to lapses in training and oversight
• OSHA citation data shows persistent safety violations in scaffolding, fall protection, and hazard communication
• Workers often face long delays and disputes in workers’ compensation and liability claims

McKay Law warns that many incidents stem from systemic issues like pressure to meet fast-track schedules, inadequate staffing, and ignored safety standards.

Legal Perspective: Who is Responsible?

In major construction projects, multiple subcontractors, equipment operators, and site supervisors share responsibility. The white paper highlights:

• The role of general contractors in enforcing on-site safety compliance
• Third-party liability claims when subcontractor negligence causes injury
• Case studies where injured workers secured significant compensation
• Why early legal involvement is crucial in investigations and evidence preservation

The firm says too many workers delay seeking help, risking denial of benefits or reduced settlements.
