Our Law Firm Can Help you if You Have Been Injured on the Job in Texas

What happens after you’re injured on the job? Hopefully, it’s not serious, and you’ll be able to quickly return to work. But if the injury is serious, who pays for your injuries, lost time or, other damages owed because you’re permanently disabled, or your loved one was killed on the job?

How to handle your claim or civil injury case depends upon the actual details of your injury and the events leading up to the accident. You must know whether or not the company you work for had workers’ compensation insurance, which pays reimbursement for medical expenses, a portion of your lost wages and some disability. You also need to know what to do if your employer does not have workers’ comp coverage. And you also must understand whether, in the eyes of the law, you are an employee or merely a contractor. Your ability to obtain compensation depends on the answers to each one of these important questions when determining how to go about receiving recompense for your on-the-job injuries.

Resolving such cases is often very complex due to the three factors mentioned above, as well as other issues that influence any job-related injury case. Furthermore, the complexity and occasional ambiguity of some of our laws allow employers and their insurance providers to unfairly refuse the rightful claims of thousands of injured Texas employees every year. It’s almost certain that inexperienced lawyers will fail to secure a maximum work-injury settlement in accident insurance claims or civil cases. And it’s all but a lock that those with no legal experience who choose to represent themselves in such matters are virtually certain to fail in their legal quest.

The work accident attorneys at our Texas Law Firm have invested decades of experience into fairly resolving injury claims and civil cases on behalf of employees who are injured on-the-job.

We believe that honesty is the best policy in sharing all of the challenges you will face so you can make the most informed decisions in the interests of your family: something your employer or his or her insurance company considers a bother from the moment the mishap occurs.

Employers are exclusively concerned with protecting their own assets. Some employers will attempt to hide whether or not they have workers’ comp insurance. Often, they evade any responsibility and mislead you in order to avoid liability. Some might argue that you aren’t an employee to begin with and don’t owe you anything. With the help of their insurance companies and attorneys, employers will accuse you or your deceased loved one of being the actual cause of the tragic mishap. An experienced work accident attorney knows how to counter the tricks of your employer, his lawyers, pushy, underhanded insurance adjusters, and their greedy corporate officers.
