How Our Attorneys Support Workplace Injury Victims
Our lawyers will help you through every step of the legal process, offering services such as the following:
- Case investigation and evidence collection: Our attorneys will gather essential evidence, including accident reports, medical records and witness statements, to build a strong case on your behalf.
- Workers’ compensation assistance: Texas workers’ compensation laws can be challenging to navigate, particularly since our state does not require employers to carry workers’ compensation insurance. Our attorneys can help you understand your rights, file your claim and appeal any wrongful denials.
- Third-party claims: In some cases, a third party, such as an equipment manufacturer or a subcontractor, may be liable for a worker’s injuries. Our lawyers will investigate all potential sources of compensation to ensure that you receive the full financial recovery you deserve.
- Skillful negotiation and litigation: If an insurance company or employer disputes your claim, our skilled attorneys will be ready to negotiate or, if necessary, take your case to court.
Common Types Of Workplace Injuries
Workplace injuries can vary widely, depending on the type of job, but some common injuries include:
- Slip-and-falls: Falls are a leading cause of injury in the workplace, often resulting in broken bones, head trauma and spinal injuries.
- Repetitive motion injuries: Conditions such as carpal tunnel syndrome or tendonitis often develop from repetitive tasks, causing long-term pain and discomfort.
- Equipment and machinery accidents: Heavy machinery can cause severe injuries, especially when safety protocols are not followed.
- Exposure to hazardous substances: Workers in certain industries may face exposure to chemicals, leading to respiratory conditions, skin disorders and even long-term health issues.
- Lifting and overexertion injuries: Many jobs involve heavy lifting, which can lead to back injuries, herniated disks and muscle strains.
Understanding Your Rights After A Workplace Injury
In Texas, workplace injury laws can be complex, and you may have several options, depending on the circumstances of your accident. Whether you’re eligible to file for workers’ compensation, pursue a third-party claim or sue a nonsubscribing employer, our attorneys will evaluate your options and pursue the best strategy to help you recover the damages you need for medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
