Workplace Accidents
Construction sites are extremely dangerous and busy places. They are loud, frantic, and filled with activity — the perfect setting for something to go wrong. Even with strict safety rules designed to protect workers, accidents still happen, and they can cause serious injuries or death. Workplace construction accidents in San Antonio are far from uncommon and have lasting implications.
If you have been injured on the job, it is important to retain an experienced construction accident attorney like Tomas Caquias, who understands the complex laws governing workplace safety and workers’ rights.
Construction workers face daily risks: operating heavy machinery, working at extreme heights, handling power tools, and navigating constantly changing site conditions. Even routine tasks can lead to disaster when equipment fails or safety standards are ignored. A qualified San Antonio construction accident lawyer will help you determine what compensation you’re eligible for — from your employer, contractor, or insurer — and fight aggressively to secure it.
It’s also important not to downplay your injury. Many construction workers try to “walk it off,” but even minor injuries can worsen over time. Always get medical attention. Your attorney can help you recover the medical costs and wages you lose while healing.
When injuries are severe enough to limit your ability to work, a construction accident lawyer will fight to ensure you receive ongoing compensation for your lost earning capacity and long-term needs.
Construction Site Accidents (General Public)
Even just walking by a construction site can be dangerous. The general public faces risks from falling debris, unsecured equipment, or unsafe barriers. While there are strict safety rules meant to protect pedestrians, drivers, and nearby residents, accidents still occur — often due to negligence, poor oversight, or failure to follow city and state safety laws.
If you were injured near or because of a construction site in San Antonio, Tomas Caquias and the legal team at Caquias Law Group, PLLC are here to help. They dedicate hours to investigating your case, identifying responsible parties, and building a strong claim to earn you the compensation you deserve.
Whether your injury resulted from unsafe walkways, defective barriers, falling tools, or reckless site management, you may be entitled to compensation for your medical bills, emotional distress, and lost income. Schedule a free consultation to have an experienced attorney evaluate your claim and explain your options.

If a worker suffers a serious injury, it is typically because there was a lapse in judgment or corners cut in safety precautions. Construction accidents aren’t uncommon, and they are commonly caused by some of the same conditions, including:
Poor communication amongst teams
Safety rules that are not posted or are ignored
Insufficient training
Burns
Malfunctioning industrial machinery

Your settlement or jury award depends on many factors including the extent and duration of your recovery. In Texas, after a car accident or other personal injury, a victim has exactly 2 years to file a lawsuit in the court. A settlement can be reached in as little as a few days in some instances and years in others. If you were involved in a car or truck accident within the last two years, contact our office today; time is important.
In Texas, the elements are duty, breach of duty, causation, and damages. If you have documented damages caused by someone’s negligence, you have a claim.
Settlements are global amounts. For example, if the settlement is $100,000 and the attorney fee is 40%, the attorney takes $40,000. The client receives $60,000, but expenses such as court costs or medical bills that were deferred until settlement are paid from the client’s share.
Yes. Studies suggest clients receive about 3.5 times more with a lawyer, even after attorney fees. Lawyers know how to navigate medical billing, negotiations, and insurance tactics.
There’s no exact answer. Online calculators are misleading. The outcome depends on the extent of injuries, treatment, and damages documented over time. Cases often take years (sometimes 5–7) to resolve fully.
