Construction Accidents in Beaumont, Texas: How They Can Be Prevented and What to Do When They’re Not 

Construction is the backbone of Beaumont’s growth, from road repairs and new homes to office buildings and industrial sites. But behind every crane, ladder, and scaffold is a person working hard to build our city’s future. These workers, the men and women who show up rain or shine, deserve to feel safe on the job. Unfortunately, construction remains one of the most dangerous industries in Texas. 

 

At A2X Law, we don’t just see you as another case file. We see you as a father, a mother, a son, a daughter, and someone who deserves to make it home at the end of the day. When a construction accident happens, it’s more than a workplace injury. It’s a life interrupted, a family shaken, and a future suddenly uncertain. We’re here to ensure that if the system fails to protect you, someone steps up to fight for your recovery. 

 

Preventable Hazards: Why Construction Accidents Still Happen 

Construction accidents are rarely just “bad luck.” Most are entirely preventable and caused by careless shortcuts, unsafe conditions, or companies that put profits over people. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) calls the four most common causes of fatal construction injuries the “Fatal Four”: 

  1. Falls: Unsecured scaffolding, lack of harnesses, unguarded edges 
  2. Struck by Object: Falling tools, heavy equipment accidents, flying debris 
  3. Electrocutions: Live wires, poorly grounded equipment, lack of PPE 
  4. Caught-in/between: Trench collapses, unguarded machinery, heavy materials 

 

Other hazards include: 

  • Unsafe ladders or scaffolding 
  • Inadequate training or supervision 
  • Exposure to toxic chemicals 
  • Overexertion in extreme heat 
  • Equipment malfunctions or lack of maintenance 

 

Most of these can be prevented with proper safety protocols, gear, training, and leadership. When they’re not, someone needs to be held accountable. 

 

What to Do After a Construction Accident in Beaumont 

If you’ve been hurt on a construction site, whether you’re a worker, subcontractor, or passerby, here’s what to do: 

 

1. Seek Medical Attention Immediately 

Even if you think your injuries are “minor,” don’t ignore them. Some injuries worsen over time, and having medical records is essential for your case. 

 

2. Report the Incident 

Report the accident to your employer or site manager as soon as possible. If you're working for a non-subscriber (an employer who doesn’t carry Texas Workers' Comp), this becomes even more critical. 

 

3. Document Everything 

  • Take photos of the scene, your injuries, and any equipment involved 
  • Get names and contact info for witnesses 
  • Save any paperwork, incident reports, or safety complaints 


4. Don’t Sign Anything Without Talking to a Lawyer 

Employers and insurance companies may try to get you to settle quickly and often for much less than your case is worth. Before signing anything, talk to an experienced construction injury attorney. 

 

5. Call A2X Law
