WORKPLACE INJURY / WORKERS’ COMP
Sorting out Your Full Legal Rights after a Workplace Injury at Your Job
Have you been injured on the job? First, we sincerely hope it is minor; you’ll recover quickly and be able to return to work. But if you’ve been seriously hurt, who pays for your injuries, lost time at work, or, heaven forbid, benefits 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 accident and the events leading up to it. You must know whether or not the company you work for has workers’ compensation insurance: which pays reimbursement for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and some disability.
You also need to know what to do if workers’ comp does not cover your employer. You also must understand if – in the eyes of the law – you are an employee or merely a contractor. Your ability to obtain fair compensation for your on-the-job injuries depends on the answers to these important questions in determining how to receive a reasonable damages payment. Resolving such cases can often be very complex due to the abovementioned factors and other issues that influence any job-related injury case. If that wasn’t enough, our laws’ complexity and occasional ambiguity allow employers and their insurance providers to unfairly refuse the rightful claims of thousands of injured Texas employees annually. It’s almost certain that inexperienced lawyers will falter in their attempts to secure the highest reasonable settlement in a work accident insurance claim or civil case.
Certainly, those with no legal experience representing themselves in such a serious matter are virtually certain to fail in their quest for rightful compensation. The workers’ comp attorneys at our Law Office have over 20 years of their lives invested in fairly resolving injury claims and civil cases for employees who are injured on the job. We use our expertise and skill to help you clearly understand the laws involved with such a case and all of the legal avenues open to you following your work accident-related injuries. We are just as practiced at representing surviving family members when their beloved family member has been accidentally killed on the job. This is why we believe that honesty is the best policy in sharing all the challenges you’re likely to face. It would be best if you made the best-informed judgment in your family’s interests, which is something your employer and his or her insurance company no longer care about – from the moment the mishap occurs. Employers must protect their assets! Some will attempt to hide whether or not they have workers’ comp insurance. Often, they attempt to evade liability and mislead you, the injured employee. Some might argue that you aren’t an employee and don’t owe you anything. With the help of their insurance companies and attorneys, they’ll accuse you of being the actual cause of your injury. That’s only the beginning of their mission to deny you. An experienced work accident attorney knows how to counter the tricks of your employer, his lawyers, and pushy, underhanded insurance adjusters.
