TEXAS WORK PLACE INJURIES
Work Place Attorney in Houston, TX
If you have been injured on the job and your employer is a workers' compensation subscriber, you may have a workers' compensation claim. Workers' compensation benefits include: medical care, temporary disability benefits, permanent disability benefits, vocational rehabilitation services, and death benefits.
However, your claim for workers' compensation benefits may not preclude a claim for compensation you may have against other responsible and negligent parties. These parties may include the premises owner or other contractors at the site. For example, may times an injured person employed for a subcontractor at a jobsite may have claims against other contractors and the premises owner. Another example may include an injured truck driver hurt by the negligence of another negligent driver.
If you do seek recovery from a responsible third party, the worker's compensation insurance carrier may assert a statutory lien against your recovery against these parties for the benefits paid to you or your family.
Because of the complicated nature of workplace injuries and worker's compensation benefits, you should consult an attorney to facilitate the process and protect your rights.
