In order to bring a successful Texas workplace accident lawsuit, you must prove that your employer was negligent. An employer is negligent if they failed to act the way that a reasonably prudent person would have acted under the same circumstances.
One way to prove that your employer was negligent is to show that your employer violated one of the duties that they owe to their employees. Texas courts, in ruling on Texas workplace accident lawsuits, have recognized specific duties owed to employees by their employer.
These duties include:
• Hiring competent workers
• Maintaining a reasonably safe work environment
• Establishing and enforcing rules and regulations to ensure the safety of their employees
• Providing employees with the properly functioning, appropriate tools needed to perform their job
• Ensuring that there is a sufficient number of workers available to perform a specific job
