JOB AND WORK INJURIES

 

SACHSE JOB AND WORK INJURY LAWYER

WORK AND JOB INJURY ATTORNEY SACHSE

If you suffered job / work injuries, the circumstances surrounding your case will determine the kind of compensation that you can claim. Majority of the injuries sustained in the workplace are covered by the workers compensation laws of Texas. However, if you have been injured because of defective equipment, job vehicular accident or by unsafe environment created by another company’s workers, you may be able to claim substantially more compensation. Some of the accidents that may be encountered in a workplace include:

• gas and oil field accidents, which may cause fires and explosions that can lead to burns or even death
• defective manufacturing equipment accidents such as forklift and conveyor belt accidents
• construction accidents that include vehicle accident on the construction site, falling from a defective scaffolding and electrocution
• Mesothelioma, which is caused by exposure to asbestos in the work place
• Illnesses that are caused by exposure to chemicals that are released by welding rods
• Lung damage and burns resulting from exposure to chemicals in the work place

There are people who suffered job/work injuries that are not keen on filing a personal injury case and do not want to hire legal counsel. This is not the way to be compensated properly for your medical and rehabilitation bills. If you or a member of your family have been injured at work, do not automatically assume fault, or that the compensations you are eligible to get can come only from workers compensations. Contact an attorney immediately to have a discussion of your case, in order to find out whether you are eligible for third party compensation. In Sachse, you may contact us at The Goolsby Law Firm for a free discussion of your job / work injuries case. This means that you do not have to pay them anything unless we are successful in recovering damages for you.

There are those who were not surprised with the job / work injuries they suffered. This is because there are employers who ask their workers to take unnecessary risks. Workers in turn take the risks for fear of losing their jobs, which is understandable. But the fact is that employers do not have the right to ask their workers to take unreasonable risks. If you have been injured in your workplace and you think that something was not right, you have to discuss the incident with a personal injury lawyer from our office at The Goolsby Law Firm. We can help in determining whether your employer was at fault in assigning difficult work tasks to you.

Do not get the idea though that job/work injuries can only come from difficult or unreasonable tasks. There are routine works that are assigned by employers, which are potentially dangerous. You may be asked for instance to clean using dangerous chemicals. If there are chemicals present in your work environment, your employer must have a MSDS or the Material Safety Data Sheet. If you were exposed to dangerous chemicals without being warned and suffered injuries because of it, your employer is liable.

In such a case, contact us at The Goolsby Law Firm for help. You may be eligible for damages that will cover your medical expenses, lost income, emotional trauma, pain and suffering. We work on a contingent fee basis so you do not have to worry about their legal fees unless we are successful in recovering damages for you.
