Construction Injury Lawyers Representing Workers Injured on Job Sites in Houston, TX

Law Office Denise

by

Many American’s are working harder than ever to support their families in any way—especially when it comes to back-breaking labor work. As you may know, in this field, the risk of injury is much higher than in others.

If you’ve ever stepped foot on a construction site, you are aware that there are many hazardous materials, precautionary actions that must be followed to avoid injury, and sometimes that occasional neglectful boss or work environment that could result in someone getting hurt.

Our skilled accident attorneys make sure that you don’t have to take the fall for these shortcomings in the workplace. Your health, mental well-being, and your family deserve to be taken care of after a construction site accident. Not only that, but you have the right to demand proper compensation for the consequential struggles that follow your injuries.

HOW CAN A TEAM OF CONSTRUCTION ACCIDENT ATTORNEYS HELP ME?

Over the years, the Law Offices of Denise Adkison-Brown, PLLC has handled countless personal injury cases. One of the best ways that we’re able to assist our clients is by relieving a huge burden of facing a legal case by themselves. We understand that injury victims deal with physical trauma, emotional distress, and financial burdens that follow accidents.

By providing sound legal advice and tactical strategies, we’re able to be that “bulldog” they need in court to adequately represent them! During the legal process, we will use every single one of our resources to fight on your behalf.

WHAT DO I NEED TO KNOW ABOUT WORKERS’ COMPENSATION IN TEXAS?

Little do many people know, any sort of physical injury on a working site within regulation can be considered a construction accident. Our construction accident lawyers are here to help you protect your rights provided under worker’s comp:

  • Coverage of your medical costs.
  • Compensation for lost wages during the accident.
  • Disability benefits if they apply to your particular case.
  • Death benefits if you have a family member due to a construction accident.
  • And many more.

Workers’ compensation benefits can also include cash and supplement benefits, durable medical goods, pharmacy benefits, and many other ways of support.

WHAT ARE THIRD-PARTY CONSTRUCTION ACCIDENTS?

There are different types of worksite accidents that may include more than one party. If a third party is at fault for your construction accident—say a negligent supervisor, not solely the company itself—we could always work to pursue that lawsuit in conjunction with your worker’s compensation claim.

For example, if you bring forward a workers’ compensation claim to receive benefits from your employer, your compensation may not completely cover every damage that you’ve suffered. In addition to your workers’ compensation claim, we would advise also pursuing a lawsuit against the responsible third party to help ease the stress of your recovery. Different types of compensation for your hardships may include:

  • Lost wages and future earning potential.
  • Therapy for your physical recovery.
  • Emotional pain and suffering.
  • And even in extreme cases, punitive charges.

Have you ever purchased a consumer product that didn’t work the way it was advertised? Have you ever spent money for someone’s services, but the services that you paid for were never actually delivered?

If so, you are probably the victim of deceptive trade practices, and you have rights under federal and state law. A deceptive trade practice is a behavior by a person or business that is intended to mislead or trick consumers or businesses into purchasing a particular service, product, or real estate.

WHAT DOES THE TEXAS DECEPTIVE TRADE PRACTICES ACT DO?

All fifty states, including Texas, enforce some type of “Deceptive Trade Practices Act” as a form of consumer protection from false, unfair, abusive, and deceptive business practices.

Lawmakers in a number of states have adopted the Uniform Deceptive Trade Practices Act (UDTPA), a “model” law designed for state legislatures.

The UDTPA laws are intended to facilitate lawsuits or other remedies for parties that are “likely to be damaged” by deceptive trade practices and affairs.

WHAT ACTION CAN YOU TAKE AGAINST DECEPTIVE TRADE PRACTICES?

If you have been harmed or injured – physically, mentally, or financially – due to the deceptive trade practices of a specific individual or business, you should seek an attorney’s advice at once.

An experienced deceptive trade practices attorney from the Law Offices of Denise Adkison-Brown, PLLC will review your situation and explain how Texas state laws and statutes apply to your own case. We can even help draft a demand letter to the negligent party.

If a business has harmed you and has violated the law, you may be able to take legal action, and you may be legally entitled to receive compensation and damages for the harm that you’ve suffered.

WHAT CONSTITUTES A DECEPTIVE TRADE PRACTICE?

What are some examples of deceptive trade practices? Deceptive trade practices include but are in no way limited to:

  • falsely representing the benefits, source, sponsorship, certification, characteristics, or quantities of a service, product, or real estate
  • representing a product as new or original when it is used, reclaimed, or reconditioned
  • falsely telling a consumer that repairs, replacements, or other services are required
  • advertising services or products with no intention of selling them as advertised or with the intention to not have adequate stock to meet the expected demand
  • turning back, disconnecting, or resetting an odometer on a vehicle for sale
  • representing “knock-off” merchandise as authentic merchandise
  • refusing to honor the warranty on a consumer item

If you purchase products or services that are not what you were told they were at the time of purchase, if your warranty is ignored, or if a salesperson or a business illegally took advantage of you, contact our firm at once and speak to a qualified deceptive trade practices attorney.

WHO MAY TAKE LEGAL ACTION AGAINST DECEPTIVE TRADE PRACTICES?

Breach of contract alone does not constitute a deceptive trade practice. For this state’s Deceptive Trade Practices Act to apply to a particular case, the consumer must have acquired, by leasing or purchasing, a specific company’s services or products.

In other words, you can’t bring a legal action against a company for false advertising (or any other deceptive business practice), even when the advertising is, in fact, false, if you didn’t buy the product or service that was falsely advertised.

Most of our clients in deceptive business practice cases are individual consumers, but we also represent businesses that have been harmed by another company’s unfair or unethical practices.

Deceptive trade practice cases typically require extensive background investigations. Your case is stronger if the defendant has a history of questionable behavior and if others have also been harmed by that behavior.

HOW CAN YOU PREVAIL WITH A DECEPTIVE TRADE PRACTICES CLAIM?

Consumers in these cases must be represented by a qualified deceptive business practices lawyer who is skilled at conducting these background investigations and who knows what it takes to prevail with a deceptive trade practices claim.

You have rights as a consumer in this state, and if a business violates those rights, our firm can help. For over a decade, the Law Offices of Denise Adkison-Brown, PLLC has built a reputation as one of the most aggressive, successful law firms in Harris County, always putting our clients first.

If you have been harmed, or if you’ve suffered losses due to an individual’s or a company’s deceptive business practices, call our law firm. Having an attorney’s help in these cases is your right.

Has your insurance company underpaid, denied, or delayed your compensation for a property damage claim or for a personal injury claim? Are you ignored, “brushed off,” or being treated unethically in some other way by a company that you’ve been paying for insurance coverage?

If this situation describes you, you’ll need to retain an insurance claim attorney. Your insurance company has attorneys, and if you are not receiving the compensation that you are entitled to, you’ll need a lawyer too.

For over a decade, the Law Offices of Denise Adkison-Brown, PLLC has represented consumers in Houston and throughout the state of Texas who have been victimized by the bad faith insurance practices of their own insurance companies.

WHERE CAN YOU TURN IF YOUR INSURANCE COMPANY WON’T DO ITS JOB?

If your insurance company is operating in bad faith regarding your property damage or personal injury claim, contact us at once and speak to an insurance bad faith attorney about your case.

A natural disaster that destroys your home or a catastrophic injury that imperils your health is everyone’s nightmare. But, just because you pay for a homeowner’s policy or auto policy, there is no guarantee that an insurance company will handle your claim appropriately.

Your policy is a contract that you pay for – it’s the insurance company’s promise to provide coverage when you need it. When you buy insurance, the company has a legal obligation to provide that coverage and to settle any claims you file in good faith.

You need to have an insurance claim paid promptly. Do not let your insurance company take advantage of you or operate in bad faith.

WHAT’S THE RULE IN TEXAS REGARDING THE PAYMENT OF INSURANCE CLAIMS?

The rule – in all fifty states – is that an insurance company must investigate your claim and pay it – or give you a good reason why the claim isn’t being paid. If an insurance company is not taking its obligation to you seriously not giving you the benefits you have paid for, you may have grounds for taking legal action.

If an insurance company fails to meet its responsibility, contact the Law Offices of Denise Adkison-Brown, PLLC at once and discuss your situation with a skilled bad faith insurance attorney. An insurance company may be taken to court by a policyholder with a bad faith claim if the company has:

  • failed to attempt a reasonable settlement when liability is clear
  • failed to either deny or pay a claim in a reasonable amount of time
  • failed to explain why a claim was denied
  • failed to investigate a claim properly
  • offered a settlement amount that’s considerably below the actual value of your claim

WHAT MAKES AN INSURANCE COMPANY OBLIGATED TO YOU?

An auto insurance company, for example, has a variety of obligations to policyholders.

As a “first party” making a claim against your own policy, the company has accepted payments from you, so the company has a contractual obligation when you file a legitimate property damage claim or personal injury claim.

Even when a “third party” claim is made against an auto insurance company, that company is still obligated professionally – and required by law – to act in good faith.

Regarding your own insurance company, a mere difference of opinion between you and the company adjuster regarding the amount of your claim probably will not constitute insurance bad faith.

However, if the company denies your claim or makes a low settlement offer and provides no reasons why, or if the company has misled you or has otherwise operated unprofessionally, you may be a victim of insurance bad faith practices.

WHAT ARE THE REMEDIES FOR BAD FAITH INSURANCE PRACTICES?

In some cases, merely sending a letter – or asking an insurance claims attorney with our firm to send a letter on your behalf – may lead to some action.

Oftentimes, just the possibility of a legal action will compel the company to offer an acceptable settlement. That’s because, if you take an insurance company to court for bad faith, it could be ordered to pay for additional damages beyond the amount of your original claim.

If you believe that an insurance company has used deceptive trade practices or has operated in bad faith in its dealings with you, contact our firm at once by phone or by filling out the contact form here on our website.
