Trusted Legal Support for Electrical Injuries on Construction Sites in Austin

The Role of Our Austin Construction Accident Attorneys

Electrical injuries on construction sites are often life-altering. Victims may suffer from severe burns, nerve damage, cardiac complications, or even permanent disability. At Kelley Wolff Injury Attorneys, we know the devastating impact these accidents have—and we provide focused legal support every step of the way.

Our team has extensive experience handling Texas construction-related electrocution claims. From live wire exposure on high-rise builds to faulty equipment at commercial job sites, we understand how to uncover violations of OSHA standards, hold responsible parties accountable, and help clients pursue full compensation throughout Travis County and Central Texas.

Why Choose Kelley Wolff Injury Attorneys for Your Construction Accident Case?

At Kelley Wolff Injury Attorneys, we are aggressive advocates for individuals harmed by electrical hazards on construction sites. Our team handles a wide range of construction-related cases, including:

  • Falls from Heights – Workers shocked by exposed wires may lose their balance and fall, leading to compounded trauma.
  • Falling Objects – Loose cables, overhead power lines, and faulty fixtures can fall and electrify surrounding areas.
  • Heavy Machinery Accidents – Construction vehicles and lifts may contact live wires, causing arc flashes or direct electrical shock to operators and nearby workers.
  • Electrical Injuries – From electrocution to severe thermal burns, these incidents can result from faulty wiring, inadequate grounding, or failure to de-energize lines.
  • Trench or Structural Collapses – Hidden underground power lines can pose serious risks during excavation or collapse events.
  • Unsafe Work Conditions – Many electrical injuries are preventable and occur due to ignored safety protocols, poor supervision, or lack of lockout/tagout procedures.

Full Legal Support When You Need It Most

Electrical injuries often involve multiple layers of liability—ranging from general contractors to third-party electrical subcontractors or equipment manufacturers. At Kelley Wolff Injury Attorneys, we help you navigate these complexities with strategic, results-driven representation.

We pursue compensation for:

  • Emergency medical treatment and long-term rehabilitation
  • Burn unit care, surgeries, and nerve repair
  • Lost wages and reduced future earning potential
  • Pain, emotional trauma, and PTSD
  • Wrongful death claims for families of fatal electrocution victims

Legal Support You Can Rely On

Insurers and contractors often try to downplay the seriousness of electrical injuries. We push back with a comprehensive legal approach—gathering site reports, electrical logs, and expert opinions to build a powerful claim on your behalf.

We help you recover damages for:

  • Hospital stays, surgical procedures, and therapy
  • Loss of income and vocational retraining
  • Permanent disability or disfigurement
  • Psychological impact and reduced quality of life
  • Survivor benefits for families after fatal injuries

My husband and I were in a car accident in December '23 and both sustained spinal injuries. We were definitely overwhelmed getting through the holidays that year, and finding Kelley Wolff helped tremendously. After they accepted our case, they took care of everything to get us set up with medical appointments. The medical process was seamless due to their assistance. We completed treatment within around 4-5 months and then moved from Texas to Colorado - I was worried that this would complicate our case, but they took care to ensure it wouldn't complicate or drag it out.Travis & Colin kept us informed throughout the process, and were very helpful when it came time to give our depositions. We both felt very prepared for the process. Our case ultimately went to mediation, and they ensured we were well-prepared for the mediation, including what to expect during and after. The mediator was able to propose a solution that worked for all parties, which we gladly accepted. Once the funds were approved and allocated, we received checks the next business day.We are so glad to be done with this process, only because it was stressful, but I highly recommend consulting Kelley Wolff if you find yourself in a car accident or other personal injury case. Travis & Colin are both exceptionally kind, brilliant, and thorough attorneys, and I feel confident recommending them to any of my loved ones.

The car accident I was in and subsequent injuries put in completely uncharted territory for me, I had no idea where to begin with getting a lawyer. It was incredibly daunting but Travis and Colin made me feel safe and guided me through every challenging step of the process. I always felt that they were honest and forthcoming with me and I have a lot of respect for both of them. Highly recommend!

My wife and I had the absolute pleasure of working with Colin, a partner at Kelley Wolff Law, and we couldn’t be more grateful for the support and guidance he provided throughout our case. From the very beginning, Colin made everything easy to understand and was incredibly communicative—always keeping us informed and never making us feel like just another file on the desk.What stood out the most to us was how deeply Colin respected and understood our bicultural background. He approached every conversation with genuine sensitivity and awareness, which helped us feel seen, heard, and comfortable during what could have been a stressful process.No matter the size of your case, Colin treats it with the same level of seriousness and professionalism. He never pressured us into decisions but instead guided us thoughtfully, helping us understand all our options and empowering us to choose the path that felt right for us.We highly recommend Colin and the entire team at Kelley Wolff Law. Their integrity, compassion, and attention to detail make all the difference.— Aylin & Orcun

Travis and Colin were awesome throughout this whole journey with me. I honestly thought I wasn't going to come out on top after finding out the driver that hit my car from behind didn't have insurance, but as of Dec 12, 2024 I was giving the great news that all was not lost. Those guys came through for me like Jordan did for the Bulls in the 4th quarter.
