Parker Law Firm Injury Lawyers

Independent contractors injured on a job site often face challenges when seeking compensation. Property owners may claim they are not responsible because the worker is not their employee. While this is generally true in Texas, important exceptions can still make a property owner liable. Under Texas premises liability law, a property owner may be responsible if they exercised control over how the work was performed or failed to warn about hidden dangers on the property. Hazards such as unstable structures, exposed wiring, or chemical risks can create liability if the owner knew about them and did not provide proper warnings. Construction sites can involve multiple parties, including property owners, general contractors, and subcontractors. Determining who is responsible often requires reviewing contracts, safety records, and witness statements to identify who controlled the work environment. In Texas, personal injury claims typically must be filed within two years of the accident, so acting quickly is important to preserve evidence. At Parker Law Firm, we work on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay nothing unless we recover compensation for you.
