Texas Law: Construction Accident in Murphy

Construction accident claims involve workers' comp (subscriber employers), non-subscriber lawsuits, and third-party negligence claims. The two-year statute of limitations (§ 16.003) applies. OSHA regulations are admissible as evidence of the applicable standard of care. Chapter 95 limits property owner liability to situations where the owner exercised control over the work and had actual knowledge of a dangerous condition. Comparative fault (Chapter 33) applies. Many construction employers are workers' comp non-subscribers, opening the door to civil lawsuits with stripped defenses.
