Expert Legal Assistance for Workplace Injury Victims in Houston
Fighting for Your Rights and Full Compensation for On-the-Job Injuries
Workplace injuries can significantly disrupt your life, causing physical pain, emotional distress, and financial hardship. Whether you work in construction, manufacturing, healthcare, or any other industry, your employer is responsible for providing a safe working environment. At the Law Office of Roy A. Boujaoude, we are dedicated to helping Houston workers secure the compensation they deserve for their injuries and losses.
Workplace injuries are a significant problem in Houston, impacting thousands of workers each year. From construction sites to offices, accidents can happen anywhere. We're dedicated to helping injured workers navigate the complex workers' compensation system and hold negligent employers accountable.
In 2022, Texas recorded 534 fatal occupational injuries, the highest number in the nation. This translates to a rate of 4.5 fatalities per 100,000 workers.
A report by OSHA indicated that Houston had the worst record in Texas for workplace fatalities and catastrophes in a particular year, with 14 deaths reported in the Houston area alone.
Construction, maintenance, and repair sectors are frequently cited as having higher rates of workplace injuries and fatalities in Houston.
We Represent Workers Across All Industries and Occupations
We Have Extensive Experience Handling a Wide Range of Workplace Injuries
Our team acts quickly to investigate the accident, preserving crucial evidence and securing witness statements. Early legal intervention is critical to building a strong case and protecting your rights.
Slips, trips, and falls
These are prevalent across many industries and often result from wet or slippery surfaces, uneven floors, or cluttered workspaces.
Electrical injuries
Especially common in construction and maintenance work, these can range from minor shocks to severe burns or even fatalities.
Struck-by accidents
Workers can be struck by falling objects, moving vehicles, or swinging equipment, leading to serious injuries.
Overexertion injuries
These occur when workers lift, pull, or push heavy objects, leading to strains, sprains, or musculoskeletal disorders.
Falls from heights
Particularly relevant in construction, these accidents can result in severe injuries or fatalities.
Heat-related illnesses
Given Houston's hot and humid climate, workers, especially those outdoors, are at risk of heat exhaustion, heat stroke, and other heat-related illnesses.
Chemical burns and exposure
Industries such as manufacturing, oil and gas, and agriculture often involve handling hazardous chemicals, leading to risks of burns, respiratory problems, or long-term health effects.
Machinery entanglement
In manufacturing and industrial settings, workers can get caught in or pulled into machinery, resulting in severe injuries or amputations.
Repetitive motion injuries
These develop over time from repetitive tasks like assembly line work, or heavy lifting, and can affect muscles, tendons, and nerves.
Vehicle-related accidents
Workers who drive as part of their job, like delivery drivers or sales representatives, are at risk of car accidents and injuries.
Workplace violence
While less common, incidents of violence in workplaces can lead to serious injuries or fatalities.
