Trusted Legal Support for Falling Object Injuries in Austin

The Role of Our Austin Construction Accident Attorneys

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.

Full Legal Support When You Need It Most

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:

  • Lost wages and diminished earning capacity
  • Costs related to mobility aids or accommodations
  • Pain, suffering, and psychological trauma
  • Wrongful death claims in fatal injury cases

Legal Support You Can Rely On

Falling object injuries often lead to complex liability disputes, and insurers may try to deny or delay your claim. We push back. Our attorneys thoroughly investigate the accident, gather site reports, and consult with construction and medical experts to build a powerful case.

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.
