ALEXANDER LAW :: TEXAS CONSTRUCTION ACCIDENT LAWYERS (jobsite-injury cornerstone) :: scope .jalex-con -->\n<!-- Cloned from the Texas Amputation catastrophic page; CSS\/JS reused VERBATIM and rescoped .jalex-amp -> .jalex-con (anim jalex-amp-mq -> jalex-con-mq). Structure, colors, fonts, sections identical. -->\n<!-- FLAGS before publish:\n   * URL SCHEME: built for the FLAT live pattern \/practice-areas\/construction-accident-lawyers\/ (the live sitemap uses flat {topic}-lawyers slugs; the nested \/catastrophic-injuries\/ hub REDIRECTS to the homepage and must not be used). Breadcrumb is 2-level Home > Practice Areas > Construction Accidents to match. Confirm final slug and fix the breadcrumb link + the 3 schema\/breadcrumb URLs if it differs.\n   * CANNIBALIZATION: this page owns the CONSTRUCTION SITE \/ jobsite \/ OSHA \/ scaffolding \/ crane \/ third-party-vs-workers-comp angle. It LINKS to premises-liability-lawyers for general property hazards rather than competing for that term. No standalone construction page exists yet, so no self-cannibalization. Keep the premises page focused on slip\/fall + property; keep this one on jobsite\/contractor liability.\n   * HERO IMAGE set to the new construction jobsite asset (Gemini_Generated_Image_8bllcs8bllcs8bll.webp); <img src> and <link preload> are in sync (LCP). Confirm it is ~16:9 landscape so it does not letterbox.\n   * STAT figures are NATIONAL construction-safety data (OSHA \/ BLS), NOT Texas-specific and NOT case values: ~1 in 5 U.S. worker deaths are in construction; the OSHA \"Fatal Four\" (falls, struck-by, caught-in\/between, electrocutions) cause the majority of construction deaths; falls are the leading cause. Texas has historically led the nation in construction worker fatalities. Attorney\/editor to confirm exact figures and source links before publish.\n   * Marquee \"$36M+\" and \"75+ yrs\" carried from sibling pages; UNVERIFIED. Confirm or replace.\n   * \"No cap on damages in ordinary negligence\" vs workers' comp \/ medical malpractice is for ATTORNEY sign-off. Sections 16.003 \/ 33.001 cited with authoritative links. Texas non-subscriber + third-party-claim framing is for attorney confirmation.\n   * Phone (469) 807-7480 matches sibling pages. Confirm.\n   * INTERNAL LINKS use only confirmed-live sitemap URLs: car-accident-lawyers, truck-accident-lawyers, premises-liability-lawyers, wrongful-death-lawyers, texas-amputation-lawyers, texas-traumatic-brain-injury-lawyers, texas-spinal-cord-injury-lawyers, texas-burn-injury-lawyers, bio pages, testimonials, contact-us. Standalone oilfield + product-liability pages are NOT published; those concepts are left as plain text. Add links when those pages go live. -->\n<link rel=\"preload\" as=\"image\" fetchpriority=\"high\"

If a party other than your employer caused your injury, a general contractor, a subcontractor, a property owner, or an equipment maker, you can bring a <strong>third-party claim<\/strong> against them. And if your employer is a Texas non-subscriber that carries no workers&#8217; compensation, you may be able to sue your employer directly for negligence.

When your employer is a <strong>non-subscriber<\/strong>, they lose key legal protections, and you may be able to sue them directly for negligence. In many cases that is a stronger path than a comp claim, because it can reach full lost earnings, pain, and future care that comp does not pay.<\/div>\n          <\/details>\n          <details class=\"fq\">\n            <summary>Who can be held responsible besides my employer?<span class=\"tog\"><svg class=\"ic\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><use href=\"#fa-plus\"><\/use><\/svg><\/span><\/summary>\n            <div class=\"a\">Depending on the facts, a <strong>general contractor, a subcontractor, the property owner, an equipment manufacturer, or another trade on site<\/strong> may share responsibility, and each often carries its own insurance.
