When falling tools, materials, or debris cause injury on a construction site, the aftermath can be physically and emotionally devastating. At Kelley Wolff Injury Attorneys, we understand the serious consequences these injuries can have—from concussions to permanent disabilities.

Our attorneys have deep experience handling construction site injury claims throughout Travis County and Central Texas. Whether you were hit by a tool dropped from scaffolding in East Austin or struck by falling debris on a downtown high-rise project, we tailor our legal approach to fit your case. We’re well-versed in OSHA regulations, safety enforcement requirements, and Texas liability law—ensuring no detail is overlooked in your claim.

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

At Kelley Wolff Injury Attorneys, we are aggressive advocates for workers and bystanders harmed by falling objects at construction sites. We handle a range of construction accident cases involving:

  • Falls from Heights – Workers above may drop tools or equipment, causing serious harm to those below. These cases often involve shared liability when safety protocols are ignored.
  • Falling Objects – Loose materials, unsecured tools, and collapsing debris can cause life-changing head, neck, or back injuries. We investigate who failed to secure the site.
  • Heavy Machinery Accidents – Buckets, booms, or suspended loads from cranes and forklifts can fall or be dropped, endangering workers beneath.
  • Electrical Injuries – Live wires and components may fall from elevated workspaces, creating risks of electrocution or secondary injuries.
  • Trench or Structural Collapses – Partial collapses often dislodge building materials, leading to falling object injuries.
  • Unsafe Work Conditions – Lack of overhead protection, poorly stacked supplies, and inadequate safety supervision frequently lead to preventable falling object incidents.

Hiring Kelley Wolff Injury Attorneys means working with a legal team that takes your recovery seriously. We know that falling object cases often involve liability across multiple parties—property owners, general contractors, subcontractors, and safety supervisors.

We help clients pursue compensation for:

  • Costs related to mobility aids or accommodations
  • Pain, suffering, and psychological trauma

My attorney Travis, case manager Liz, and everyone else from Kelley Wolff were a pleasure to work with. Liz constantly kept me in the loop with updates and while my case became more complex due to filing a lawsuit, the process was still seemless. Travis was lightning quick to answer any questions. For example, when I had my settlement finalized, I had to notarize the forms and I was out of state at the time. I wanted to ensure the forms were correctly notarized and signed, so I called my case manager Liz and she contacted Travis. Within minutes, I had clarity on how the forms needed to be completed by the notary. 5/5 would definitely recommend, very professional and was more than happy with the amount of my settlement.

Mr. Colin and his team are wonderful. They helped me through this long drawn out process, made me feel comfortable during the deposition and mediation also through this whole process which started in September 2024. Answered every question I had. They always stayed in touch with me when they said they were going to. We did settle on a number more than what I anticipated. I would recommend Mr. Colin for any injury Lawyer in the Austin area.

My case took 2yrs to resolve, and there were times I thought it was not going to be resolved. Kelley Wolff Attorney Travis stayed true to his word. There were many times when I doubted the updated reports of my case but Travis made sure he reached out to go over the information given until I felt secure in next steps of my case. This group can be trusted to follow through and resolve your case no matter how long it may take.
