All too often, injured workers make the mistake of filing a worker’s compensation claim before speaking with a Texas personal injury lawyer. Depending on how, when and where your workplace accident occurred, someone other than your employer might be responsible for your injuries.
When a third party, such as a subcontractor or the manufacturer of a defective tool, is at fault for your accident, then you may be able to file a Texas personal injury lawsuit against them.
By filing a Texas personal injury lawsuit, you may be able to receive substantially more compensation for your injuries than worker’s compensation would provide. For example, with a Texas personal injury lawsuit, you might be awarded damages for pain and suffering, which is not available through worker’s compensation.
Determining who is at fault for your Texas workplace accident can be complicated. Workplace accidents are not always as straightforward as they may seem, which is why you need the advice of an experienced Texas personal injury lawyer.
