In this video, attorney Bryan Garrett explains when and how you can file a lawsuit for a construction accident in Oklahoma. Whether you’re a construction worker, a pedestrian, or a bystander, if your injuries were caused by a construction company’s negligence, you may be entitled to compensation beyond workers’ comp. Construction zones are inherently dangerous, and when proper safety measures aren’t followed, lives can be changed in an instant. As construction activity booms across Oklahoma—especially in downtown Oklahoma City—so do the risks of accidents. From unsafe walkways and falling debris to machinery hazards and unmarked danger zones, these environments demand strict adherence to safety protocols. If a construction company fails in its duty to maintain a safe environment, it can be held liable for the injuries it causes. In a recent case, a pedestrian was injured on a sidewalk adjacent to an active construction site—no warning signs, no tape, no barriers. That’s a clear breach of duty. Proving negligence involves showing that the construction company had a responsibility to keep the area safe, failed to do so, and that failure caused your injuries and damages. Don’t assume that workers’ comp is your only option or that you don’t have a case if you weren’t on the job. Independent contractors and even bystanders can file a lawsuit if a third party’s negligence played a role in the injury. A knowledgeable construction accident injury lawyer can help you gather the evidence, navigate the process, and fight for the compensation you’re owed. If you’ve been injured in a construction-related accident, don’t wait. Call today for a free consultation and let an experienced attorney protect your rights and maximize your recovery. FAQs Who can file a construction accident lawsuit in Oklahoma? Anyone injured due to negligence at or near a construction site—including workers, bystanders, and contractors—may be eligible to file a lawsuit. What types of compensation can I receive for a construction accident injury? You may recover damages for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and long-term care or disability-related costs. Do I need a lawyer to file a construction accident lawsuit? While not required, a lawyer can help gather evidence, prove negligence, and negotiate with insurance companies to secure fair compensation. How long do I have to file a construction accident lawsuit in Oklahoma?
