On the Job Injuries? Get a Workmans Compensation Lawyer

Workmans compensation laws protect employees who are inured or become ill  “out of and in the course of employment." When there is a connection between the accident that caused the injury/illness and your employment duties, you are entitled to workmans compensation.

Injuries covered by workmans compensation can occur:

  • Llifting heavy equipment
  • Slipping on oily or wet surfaces
  • Handling defective machinery
  • During fires or explosions
Other injuries—even being hurt at a company-sponsored party—may also entitle you to coverage. A good workmans compensation lawyer can help you determine if your situation is covered.

Workmans Compensation Also Covers On the Job Illnesses

When working conditions present unusual or extraordinary risks, illnesses can be covered under the workers' compensation system. A knowledgeable workmans compensation attorney can analyze the hazards associated with your employment and advise you if the illness is common to everyday life or a risk of your particular employment situation. Illnesses commonly covered by workmans compensation are:
  • Coal miners contracting black lung disease
  • Computer workers suffering from carpal tunnel syndrome
  • Office workers reacting to mold in the environment

Money Damages in Workmans Compensation Cases

When you’re hurt while working or become sick because of your job, your main objective is to get well so that you are able to work long-term. Your second concern is getting compensated for missed work so you can pay your bills. Texas has a state-regulated insurance program (worker’s compensation program) that pays medical bills and replaces a portion of lost wages if you are injured on the job or contract a work-related illness. An experienced workmans compensation lawyer can assist you in filing a claim for worker’s compensation or a lawsuit to seek compensation for any damages.
