Trusted Legal Support for Falls from Heights Injuries in Austin

The Role of Our Austin Construction Fall Injury Attorneys

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.

Full Legal Support When You Need It Most

Falls from heights often involve multiple parties—from negligent contractors to equipment manufacturers. Our legal team understands how to uncover safety violations, identify all responsible entities, and pursue full compensation for our clients.

We help victims of construction fall accidents recover compensation for:

  • Hospital and rehabilitation costs
  • Temporary and permanent income loss
  • Mobility support, home modification, and disability care
  • Emotional distress, physical suffering, and trauma
  • Wrongful death benefits for surviving families

Legal Support You Can Rely On

After a construction site fall, employers and insurers may try to minimize your claim. We push back hard. Our team investigates the incident, obtains safety inspection reports, and works with medical and engineering experts to prove liability and damages.

We help you recover for:

  • Medical expenses now and in the future
  • Lost wages and career disruption
  • Pain, suffering, and mental anguish
  • Disability, disfigurement, and permanent injuries
  • Wrongful death losses for families left behind

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.

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.
