JOB AND WORK INJURY

FARMERS BRANCH JOB AND WORK INJURY LAWYER

WORK AND JOB INJURY ATTORNEY FARMERS BRANCH

There are several avenues that people who suffered job injuries can seek compensation in the state of Texas, based on whether the employer have workers compensation or not. In contrast to the majority of states, employers in Texas are not obliged to provide workers compensation insurance to their employees. The law of the state though provides particular benefits to employers who choose to avail of workers compensation. As a result, many employers subscribe to the insurance but non-subscribers, or those that do not subscribe to workers compensation, also exist in the state.

In seeking compensations for work injuries, an injured employee must first find out whether the employer is subscribed to workers compensation insurance or not. Since an injured employee is prevented from suing a company that is subscribed to workers compensation, many non-subscribers may present the appearance that they are subscribers in order to prevent a possible lawsuit. They can bestow weekly payment and other benefits that are usually connected with workers compensation. Through this unethical practice, an employer chooses to pay a little extra rather than spend a substantial amount that could be required of them by way of a work injury related court case.

You might be able to recover for unpaid medical expenses, pain, disfigurement, lost income, mental anguish and impairment if you suffered job/work injuries but you have to file a case within a couple of years from the date the accident happened.
