ADDISON, Texas — McKay Law, a leading Texas-based construction accident law firm, has released a groundbreaking white paper analyzing the causes, patterns, and legal outcomes of construction accidents across the state. The report, titled “Construction Accidents in Texas: A Comprehensive Analysis,” sheds light on the most pressing safety concerns affecting one of Texas’s most hazardous industries and offers data-driven solutions to improve worker protection.
The extensive study reviews years of accident statistics, OSHA data, workers’ compensation cases, and legal outcomes, providing a comprehensive look at the dangers facing Texas construction workers. It also serves as a roadmap for safety professionals, contractors, and policymakers to address persistent hazards that contribute to serious injuries and fatalities on job sites.
“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.”
McKay Law’s research highlights critical findings, including the high frequency of falls, equipment failures, and electrocutions, as well as struck-by and caught-in incidents—the leading causes of workplace deaths in the industry. It also identifies trends in OSHA safety violations and the varying levels of compliance across Texas job sites.
The white paper reveals that while safety awareness has increased in recent years, gaps in enforcement, subcontractor oversight, and equipment maintenance continue to drive accident rates upward.
In addition to identifying risks, the report provides specific safety recommendations — including enhanced subcontractor accountability, mandatory safety audits, improved training programs, and legislative updates aimed at protecting Texas workers.
McKay Law’s legal team has earned a reputation for aggressively defending the rights of injured construction workers and securing significant compensation for victims and their families. The firm’s experience includes complex cases involving crane and scaffolding collapses, trench failures, burns, electrocutions, and wrongful death claims.
“Construction accident victims face overwhelming challenges—from catastrophic injuries and mounting medical bills to lost wages and uncertain futures,” the spokesperson added. “At McKay Law, we don’t just practice construction accident law; we dedicate ourselves to understanding the complexities of construction site injuries and holding negligent parties accountable. This white paper reflects that dedication.”
The report also details Texas-specific construction safety regulations, explores the role of general contractors and subcontractors in maintaining site safety, and underscores the importance of immediate legal counsel following a construction injury to protect workers’ rights.
