What to Know When You Are Injured on the Job in Texas
It is not always clear what your rights are after a work injury. Some people are told to file a claim, while others are left wondering if their employer has any responsibility at all. We look at the details of your job, how the injury happened, and whether the company opted out of workers’ compensation coverage.
When Workplaces Do Not Carry Workers’ Compensation Insurance
Some employers in Texas choose not to carry traditional workers’ compensation coverage. When that happens, the rules change, and injured workers may be allowed to file a lawsuit instead of a claim. We look at what led to your injury and whether the company’s actions played a part. If they did, we can help you pursue compensation directly through the courts.
When Third Parties May Be Involved in Work-Related Harm
Not every workplace injury is caused by someone inside your company. Sometimes subcontractors, delivery drivers, property managers, or outside vendors create unsafe conditions that cause harm. We take time to understand who else was on the job and what they were responsible for. If another business contributed to the incident, we help you hold them accountable for the harm they caused.

Where Serious Workplace Injuries Occur and Why Accident Sites Matter
Some of the most severe work injuries happen in fast-paced environments where people are expected to move quickly and manage constant risks. When a serious injury happens, where it occurred can tell us a lot about how safety failed and who was in charge of that space. We use Texas Labor Code § 406.031 to identify who may be responsible for covering benefits and addressing what went wrong. These types of injuries often happen in places like:
- Warehouses
- Construction zones
- Restaurants
- Hospitals
- Oil fields
- Loading docks
- Distribution centers
- School maintenance areas
Every kind of job site comes with its own risks, especially when safety checks get skipped or ignored. Some of these spaces involve shared responsibility, with landlords, vendors, and employers all playing a part in what happens there. We look at how those relationships impact your case and pinpoint who should be held responsible.

When Your Job Injury Involves a Vehicle
Not every work injury happens inside a warehouse or on a construction site. For many employees, the risk is on the road, especially when driving a company vehicle or traveling as part of the job. We look at where the crash happened, what the driver was doing, and whether the employer or someone else may be legally responsible.
