Houston Workplace Injuries Lawyers

What is a workplace injury?

Every office or worksite has potentially hazardous items that could hurt employees. In Texas, and in most states, an employer is required to provide their workforce with a safe environment where they can be comfortable and productive. Despite this, sometimes the workplace’s conditions are not adequate or an events that were unaccounted for occur, leading to workplace injuries.

According to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, a worker or employee is injured every seven seconds due to overexertion, contact with objects and equipment, and slips and falls. Among the top occupations with the largest cases of workplace injuries include firefighters, police, and employees in the transportation/shipping sectors, manufacturing, and construction. If you have been injured on the job, the Houston workplace injury attorneys on Attorney Tom‘s team can help you seek the compensation you need to make up for your lost wages and medical expenses. Contact us at (713) 244-6363 for a free consultation.

Why You Need a Worker Injury Lawyer

Typically, you are able to recover claims without an attorney if you suffered a simple injury to your ankle or a cut that requires a few stitches or if your employer agreed with you that the incident took place at work. But this is not always the case. In some instances, an employer may deny your claim or their promised settlement offer does not cover your medical bills and the pay you missed while you were unable to work. When this happens, deciding to hire an attorney may be your most ideal option. Contact Attorney Tom when you’re caught in the following situations:

Your Injury Prevented You from Coming to Work

Total and/or partial disability caused by a work-related injury can be very expensive. Insurance companies often work hard to deny or underpay claims. A skilled workplace injury attorney will help you seek the maximum amount of compensation.

The Settlement Offer is Insufficient for Your Medical Bills

Do not let the workers’ compensation insurance company decide your settlement—especially if it barely covers the medical costs of your treatment. Your compensation should be enough to pay for your medical bills and salary losses for the time when you couldn’t go to work due to your injury or illness. If a claims adjuster recommends you to simply accept their offer, it is best to call a lawyer for advice.

You Plan on Applying for Social Security Disability Benefits

Poorly drafted injury settlements could potentially lower the disability payment you will receive from Social Security. If you really want to get the most ideal compensation, seek the help of a lawyer before accepting any settlement agreement.

If you or your loved one has been injured due to an unsafe work environment, you may be entitled to a compensation. Let Attorney Tom‘s team of Houston workers’ compensation lawyers help you. Contact us at (713) 244-6363 or fill out our contact form below.
