Legal Question in Personal Injury in Texas

Re: construction accident

Were you acting as the general contractor? If you were, then you might have some exposure. Were you out there at the time it happened? Was the storm unexpected? There are a number of questions which need to be answered before anyone can give you a more definitive answer.

Defendants are entitled to claim that an accident was not due to negligence, but to an act of God. If the plaintiff can demonstrate negligence on your part, then this defense won't necessarily help you.

Re: construction accident

probably none..but you could call your homeowner's insurance and you may have some medical payments available for him IF you do not classify him as an employee or independent contractor...and hopefully the man who hired him had some insurance..which is why we need single payer insurance for the nation in my opinion. As lawyers for injured people we see this all too often..and the land owner is only responsible if he was negligent..and unless you went out there and told them to stay in the heavy wind, etc..how could you have been negligent??
