Construction sites are among the most dangerous workplaces in Texas and across the country. Every day, workers step onto job sites believing that safety protocols, equipment standards, and trained supervisors will protect them from harm. Yet tragedies still occur—falls from scaffolding, machine malfunctions, collapsing structures, electrical burns, chemical exposure, and heavy equipment accidents can transform an ordinary workday into a life-altering event. When a construction accident strikes, the effects are often devastating: severe physical injuries, emotional trauma, long-term disability, mounting medical bills, and uncertainty about the future.
Victims and their families are left grappling with questions that have no easy answers. How did this happen? Who is responsible for my injuries? Will I be able to work again? How will my family survive financially? Amid this overwhelming confusion, one decision becomes absolutely critical: choosing the right construction accident attorney to represent your best interests, uncover the truth, and fight aggressively for the compensation you deserve.
In Galveston County, where construction projects—from residential developments to commercial high-rises and infrastructure expansions—continue to grow rapidly, accident claims can be extremely complex. They often involve multiple parties, including contractors, subcontractors, equipment manufacturers, property owners, and sometimes government entities. Insurance companies work aggressively to minimize payouts, and employers may attempt to shift or deny responsibility. To navigate this challenging landscape, victims need an attorney who not only understands Texas construction laws but also possesses the experience, compassion, and determination required to fight against powerful corporations.
For more than fifteen years, Abogada Annie Shonai Basu and Basu Law Firm have become trusted advocates for injured construction workers and their families. They bring deep legal knowledge, strategic thinking, and genuine empathy to every case. Annie is known for standing up for workers who have been injured due to negligence, safety violations, or preventable job-site hazards.

Who We Are — Annie Shonai Basu & Basu Law Firm
Annie Shonai Basu (Abogada Annie)
Abogada Annie Shonai Basu has built a remarkable reputation in Galveston County as one of the most reliable and compassionate personal injury attorneys. A proud graduate of South Texas College of Law Houston, Annie has devoted more than fifteen years of her career to helping victims injured by negligence regain control of their lives. Her journey in the legal field has been defined by resilience, advocacy, and an unshakeable commitment to justice.
What makes Annie truly exceptional is her ability to combine legal strength with empathy. She deeply understands the emotional toll a construction accident can take—not only on the injured worker but also on their spouse, children, and extended family who depend on them.

Annie’s clients trust her because she listens, supports, and stands beside them throughout their legal journey.
Her experience spans several areas of law—personal injury, criminal defense, DUI defense, and family law—giving her a broad legal perspective that becomes incredibly valuable in construction accident cases. Many construction accidents involve overlapping legal issues such as workers’ compensation complications, equipment liability, employer negligence, or contractual disputes among contractors.

Why Basu Law Firm Is the Best Construction Accident Attorney in Galveston
Choosing the right attorney after a construction accident can significantly influence the outcome of a case. Construction accident claims are especially complex in Texas, where multiple laws, contracts, and liability standards may apply. A single accident may involve several responsible parties, and determining fault requires deep investigation and legal expertise.
Basu Law Firm has earned its place as one of Galveston County’s most trusted and effective personal injury law firms because of its extensive experience, strategic approach, and unwavering commitment to injured workers.
For more than fifteen years, Annie has successfully handled cases involving falls from heights, scaffold failures, collapsing structures, crane accidents, forklift incidents, electrocution, trench collapses, chemical exposure, heavy machinery injuries, and construction vehicle collisions. These cases often require not just legal knowledge, but the ability to untangle complex layers of responsibility—whether involving general contractors, subcontractors, site supervisors, or equipment manufacturers.
What sets Basu Law Firm apart is its ability to look beyond surface-level facts. Annie and her team investigate employer compliance with OSHA regulations, examine training records, analyze site conditions, and identify signs of negligence or cutting corners. The firm knows how often worker safety is sacrificed for speed, cost reductions, or negligence—and they are determined to hold the responsible parties accountable.
A Deep Commitment to Worker Rights
Construction workers form the backbone of Galveston County’s growth. They build roads, homes, offices, and bridges—yet they often bear the highest safety risks. When an accident occurs, too many workers face intimidation, blame, or attempts by employers to deny responsibility. Some companies pressure workers to avoid reporting injuries. Others try to shift blame onto the worker, claim the injury is unrelated, or hide behind subcontracting layers to avoid liability.
Basu Law Firm fiercely opposes these tactics. Annie believes that every worker deserves justice, fair treatment, and respect. She ensures that injured workers understand their rights and are protected from unfair practices. Her dedication to justice has earned her the trust of countless workers and families throughout Galveston County.
Understanding the Complexity of Construction Accident Cases
Construction accidents are rarely simple. They often involve multiple companies, independent contractors, equipment suppliers, safety supervisors, and property owners. Determining who is at fault requires a multi-layered investigation and an attorney who understands how construction sites operate.
In many cases, the cause of an accident may involve:
- Failure to follow OSHA safety standards
- Improper supervision
- Lack of fall protection
- Defective scaffolding or railings
- Malfunctioning equipment or tools
- Poorly maintained machinery
- Negligent subcontractors
- Inadequate worker training
- Unsafe worksite design
Basu Law Firm meticulously reviews contracts, safety documentation, incident reports, medical records, and site photographs. They consult experts who can provide insight into whether proper procedures were followed and whether the injury resulted from preventable negligence.
This level of thoroughness is essential because construction companies and insurance providers often attempt to deny liability or minimize the victim’s injuries. Annie’s strong preparation and strategic approach ensure that clients have the evidence necessary to challenge these tactics effectively.
What Victims Should Do After a Construction Accident
After a construction accident, victims often feel overwhelmed and unsure of what steps to take. Their medical needs may be urgent, and the emotional shock can make decision-making difficult. Yet the actions taken immediately after an accident can significantly affect the outcome of a legal case.
Basu Law Firm encourages victims to prioritize their health first. Seeking immediate medical attention not only protects the injured worker but also creates a crucial record of the injury. Victims should also attempt to preserve evidence wherever possible—photos of the site, damaged equipment, or the conditions that contributed to the accident.
It is crucial that victims avoid signing documents or agreeing to statements issued by employers or insurance companies without legal representation. These organizations often attempt to protect their own interests by downplaying the severity of injuries or misleading workers about their rights.
By contacting Basu Law Firm early, victims receive guidance on how to protect evidence, understand their legal options, and ensure their rights are not compromised. Annie’s team handles communication with all parties, allowing victims to focus on what matters most—healing and rebuilding their lives.
How Basu Law Firm Maximizes Compensation for Construction Accident Victims
Construction accidents often lead to significant physical and financial hardship. Victims may require surgeries, long-term rehabilitation, therapy, medical equipment, or even lifelong care. Many are unable to return to work for extended periods—or ever again. The emotional toll is equally significant, affecting mental health, family relationships, and overall quality of life.
Basu Law Firm fights with determination to secure full and fair compensation for these damages. Their legal strategy involves comprehensive investigation, expert testimony, detailed documentation of injuries, and a clear demonstration of how the accident has impacted the victim’s life.
Annie does not accept low settlement offers from insurance companies aiming to minimize payouts. Instead, she negotiates assertively and prepares every case as though it may go to trial. Her courtroom readiness sends a strong message to defendants: Basu Law Firm will not hesitate to pursue justice before a judge or jury if necessary.
The compensation pursued often includes medical expenses, lost wages, loss of future earning potential, pain and suffering, emotional trauma, disability or disfigurement, and in tragic cases, wrongful death damages. Annie’s commitment ensures that victims and their families receive the resources they need for long-term recovery.
