Job injuries cover harm that occurs to an individual during the normal course of employment. In Texas you are likely to be covered by workers comp if you are harmed at your work. While it is not mandatory, employers are given various legal incentives to provide this type of insurance for their employees.

Before you accept a workers comp payment after a job / work injury, you should be aware that once you agree to a settlement you will no longer be able to Sue your employer should it transpire that the workers comp offered is not sufficient. For this reason, before accepting any sort of payment, you should contact the work injuries lawyers at The Goolsby Law Firm.

Even if you have accepted workers comp it may still be possible to bring suit against a third-party, if they are in some way involved in your accident. For example, a manufacturer of the tool that caused your injury, due to being faulty, could be held responsible.

At The Goolsby Law Firm we can fully investigate your job injury, including investigating the possibility of third-party involvement. It is important that your accident is carefully investigated to make sure that all eventualities are covered in your payment. Your injuries may make it impossible to ever return to your work, this may impact your future earning possibilities, and must be compensated for.

Common types of work injury include strains from lifting heavy objects, slip and fall injuries, being hit by objects falling from shelves, cuts from tools, falling from ladders, and vehicle accidents. The first thing you should do is to report your accident to your employer, the next thing you should do is contact a job accident lawyer at The Goolsby Law Firm.
