Helping Houston Employees Recover For Serious On-The-Job Injuries Process
According to the most recent data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics provided from the U.S. Department of Labor, approximately 3 million workers in Houston and across the nation suffered on-the-job injuries and illnesses in 2016.
Slip and falls, injuries from dangerous equipment or chemicals, electrocutions — you name it — workers in many industries suffer catastrophic injuries, like brain injuries, amputations and spinal cord injuries.
Time away from work, surgeries, hospital visits and physical therapy associated with workplace injuries are costly. Fortunately, in Texas, injured employees can apply for workers’ compensation benefits.
Exercise Your Right To Recover Workers’ Compensation Benefits
If you or a loved one was injured working on the job, the law allows you to rightfully recover monetary compensation. At , in Houston, Texas, we can help with all aspects relating to the workers’ compensation process. From filing the initial application to working with your employer to assisting with medical needs, our goal is to get you maximum compensation.
Additional Compensation From Third Parties
In some cases, injured workers may be able to pursue a claim against a third party who was responsible for job site injury or illness.
In addition to pursuing workers’ comp benefits, you could also recover money from the product manufacturer, seller, distributor, or another person or entity in the chain of distribution. Depending on the situation, you could even pursue punitive damages against the at-fault party.
