Work Injury Attorneys
Workers’ compensation is a state-regulated insurance program that compensates injured workers for lost income benefits, medical treatment and permanent impairment resulting from workplace injuries or occupational diseases. Report your injury to your employer right away and then call us for assistance with your claim to ensure you get what you're entitled to.
If your employer does not subscribe to the Texas workers’ compensation system, you may still have coverage for work injuries. Injured workers of non-subscribers have the legal right to pursue a case recover damages sustained as a result of their employer’s negligence under §406.033 of the Texas Labor Code. Strict deadlines apply, so call us today for assistance with your case.
Section 451 of the Texas Labor Code protects workers from being discriminated against by their employer for filing a workers’ compensation claim in good faith. If you were injured on the job and your employer fired you for pursuing workers’ comp benefits or for hiring a workers’ compensation attorney, you may be able to file a lawsuit.
If the negligence of a third party, that is someone besides your employer caused your injuries, you may be entitled to sue for those damages even if you receive workers’ compensation benefits. The responsible party is primarily liable, even if they don't pay first in time. We can help you navigate these complex and interwoven cases.
