Legal Options for a Victim of a Midland Work Injury

When you have been injured at work, it is important to receive compensation for all of your damages including medical expenses and lost wages. If your employer refuses to provide these benefits or if they are not sufficient, then a personal injury lawyer can file suit against them on your behalf.

A qualified firm of work injury lawyers in Midland will be able to help with any inquiries regarding workers’ compensation benefits or filing a workers’ comp lawsuit against an employer who has failed to provide adequate coverage for their employees.

An attorney will handle all communication with employers so that you do not need to return phone calls from them or deal with their threats and intimidation tactics regarding filing suit against them for failing to provide adequate coverage for employees who were injured while working at their company facility.

Our reputable firm of Texas attorneys at Carabin Shaw provides aggressive legal representation for victims of work-related accidents due to employer negligence. Do not be afraid to stand up for your rights. Seek the help of an expert and obtain the compensation you deserve.

Some work-related accidents can leave a disastrous impact on the life of the injured employee depending on the severity. Major physical trauma can require life-time treatments and a change of lifestyle for both the injured employee and their families.

Common types of on-the-job injuries include:

• Back and neck injuries
• Sprains and strains
• Lacerations
• Bone fractures
• Toxic inhalation
• Traumatic burn injuries
• Concussions

Whether or not you have workers' compensation insurance affects your rights and alternatives if you are injured at work in a significant way. Texas does not mandate that businesses carry workers' compensation insurance. Although it is not necessary, many employers do have it. This is due to the fact that if you have workers' compensation insurance, the type and amount of compensation you can receive are then regulated by law.

Through worker’s compensation insurance, you are entitled to receive medical, income, and even funeral and death benefits in the case of a traumatic work-related injury. If you need assistance acquiring treatments for future medical bills and expenses and the insurer or employer won't pay the costs, seek legal counsel.

When an employer rejects a worker's compensation plan, employees who suffer a Midland work injury can obtain compensation for their damages, by filing a personal injury lawsuit.

Employees must demonstrate that another person's negligence, gross negligence, or willful wrongdoing led to their injuries in order to be eligible for personal injury compensation. Working with a legal expert will be beneficial since they must prove the other party was at fault as well as the nature and scope of the damages.

You may also be eligible for additional compensation if a third party’s else’s negligence or misconduct contributed to your injuries. For example, if your employer hired a subcontractor who caused you harm due to negligence, they can also be held accountable for your injuries.

Our firm of talented and professional attorneys can help you understand your rights and how Texas works with regard to work injuries. They can also help guide you through the legal process so that you get the compensation that you are entitled to under Texas law.

We are experts in personal injury litigation and can help you get back part of what your injuries have caused you to lose. Carabin Shaw’s client reviews are evidence of the type of professional service we provide for our clients.
