Falls from heights are one of the most serious and life-altering types of construction accidents. When these incidents occur, victims face not only physical pain but also emotional trauma and financial uncertainty. At Kelley Wolff Injury Attorneys, we offer dedicated legal guidance to help you through the aftermath of a construction fall injury.

Our team understands the nuances of height-related accident claims across Central Texas. Whether you fell from scaffolding on an East Austin build or slipped while roofing in South Austin, we tailor our legal approach to your unique circumstances. We stay updated on OSHA fall protection regulations and Texas liability laws to build strong, evidence-based claims.

Why Choose Kelley Wolff Injury Attorneys for Your Fall from Heights Case?

Our attorneys are committed to standing up for injured workers and their families throughout Austin. We have deep experience handling fall accident claims involving:

• Falls from Heights – Scaffolding, ladders, rooftops, and open floors are common fall points on job sites. These falls can cause catastrophic injuries like spinal cord trauma, brain injuries, or paralysis—often requiring lifelong care.
• Falling Objects – In many cases, a falling tool or piece of material can startle a worker or knock them from a height. When job sites lack proper overhead protection or safety protocols, the risk of a fall increases dramatically.
• Heavy Machinery Accidents – Crane booms, lifts, and forklifts can destabilize platforms or scaffolds when operated unsafely. Workers are also at risk of being struck or knocked over near elevated machinery, causing a dangerous fall.
• Electrical Injuries – Contact with live wires while working at height can lead to loss of consciousness or muscle control, resulting in falls from ladders, rooftops, or platforms. These incidents can also cause secondary injuries like burns and internal trauma.
• Trench or Structural Collapses – Falls frequently occur during partial structural failures. When floors give way or walls collapse, workers can plunge several feet, sustaining multiple injuries in the process.
• Unsafe Work Conditions – The absence of guardrails, harnesses, and fall protection systems is a major factor in fall-related injuries. We aggressively pursue claims where site managers or employers failed to maintain OSHA-compliant safety practices.
