When Is It Time to Call a Lawyer? The Tawwater Law Firm Is on Your Side
If you’ve been injured on a construction site, the first step you’ll typically take is filing a workers’ compensation claim. But what happens if your claim is denied or doesn’t even come close to covering your medical expenses, lost wages, and long-term needs? Then it’s time to call the construction accident lawyers at The Tawwater Law Firm.
Our Oklahoma City-based attorneys are prepared to step in when workers’ compensation falls short or when a third party may be liable for your injuries, such as a subcontractor, equipment manufacturer, or property owner.
It’s also important to act quickly. In Oklahoma, the statute of limitations for filing a personal injury lawsuit is generally two years from the date of your accident. Waiting too long to file could mean losing your right to collect compensation altogether.
Let’s talk about your options now—before the clock runs out. Contact our construction accident lawyers in Oklahoma City for a free consultation.
Construction sites are among the most dangerous workplaces in Oklahoma City. One moment of negligence, one defective piece of equipment, or one missed safety check can result in catastrophic, life-altering injuries.

How Our Construction Accident Lawyers Can Help
Construction accident injuries are often catastrophic, leading to permanent disability, emotional trauma, and a need for lifelong medical care. Our Oklahoma City personal injury attorney's office takes your recovery seriously, and we leave no stone unturned when fighting for your compensation.
Here’s what we do:
Reconstruct the Accident: We work with accident reconstruction experts to investigate the scene, identify safety violations, and determine whether OSHA or state laws were broken.
Establish Liability: Construction accident cases can involve multiple parties. We determine fault across employers, property owners, general contractors or subcontractors, equipment manufacturers, and government entities.
Calculate Your Total Losses: We collaborate with doctors, life care planners, and forensic accountants to assess immediate and future medical costs, lost income and diminished earning capacity, pain and suffering, the need for at-home care, and more.
As our client, our mission is to recover everything you're owed so you’re not left struggling to make ends meet while trying to heal.
Falls From Ladders and Scaffolding
Falls remain one of the leading causes of serious injury and death on Oklahoma City construction sites. Faulty scaffolding, unstable ladders, or missing safety equipment can lead to devastating consequences, especially when job sites ignore OSHA regulations.
We’ve represented fall victims injured by:
- Defective or poorly constructed scaffolding
- Loose or broken ladder rungs
- Equipment not tied off or secured
- Missing guardrails and safety harnesses
- Inappropriate scaffold placement near traffic or drop-offs
In one case, we secured compensation for a worker who fell due to improper welding at the top of a tower scaffold. These cases demand technical knowledge and legal skill, both of which our lawyers bring to every client we serve.
Other Common Causes of Construction Accidents
Beyond falls, our Oklahoma City construction accident lawyers frequently handle claims involving:
Being Struck by Objects: Falling tools, materials, or debris can cause traumatic brain injuries, fractures, and even death on the job site.
Caught-In/Between Accidents: Heavy machinery or collapsing trenches can crush limbs or lead to fatal injuries.
Electrocution: Faulty wiring, downed power lines, or poorly maintained equipment can lead to serious burns and neurological damage.
Slip and Falls: Unsecured flooring, misplaced tools, and poor lighting often cause preventable falls, even on ground level.
Construction Vehicle Accidents: Forklifts, bulldozers, and dump trucks cause severe injuries when operated without care or proper oversight.
If your injury was caused by someone else’s negligence or a defective product, our construction accident lawyers are here to hold the responsible party accountable, whether it's a subcontractor, product manufacturer, or city agency.
