Workplace accidents occur in almost every industry, but some hazards are more common than others. According to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, many of the serious injuries workers suffer on the job result from preventable safety violations, resulting in accidents that may require the involvement of an attorney, including:

• Falls from heights
• Forklift accidents
• Machinery malfunctioning
• Falling objects
• Electrical accidents
• Exposure to dangerous substances

A knowledgeable workplace injury attorney in Texas can investigate the circumstances of your accident and determine whether safety violations or negligent behaviors may have been factors in what occurred. However, Texas law can make it complicated for some victims to fight for their rights. What does that mean for your chance at justice?

After an injury, victims are often left wondering—can I sue after a workplace accident in Texas? The answer depends on the specific circumstances of your accident and who is liable for the harm it caused.

Texas has a unique workers' compensation system that serves as an optional, state-regulated source of support for employees injured on the job, partially replacing lost wages and paying medical bills. Generally, your attorney will advise you to accept these benefits, but there are some circumstances in which they do not apply. An experienced Schertz workplace injury lawyer will work with you to investigate the circumstances of your case, identifying all liable parties.

You can potentially file a claim against:

• An employer who does not subscribe to Texas workers' compensation
• Negligent contractors or subcontractors
• Equipment manufacturers
• Property owners
• Other third parties whose negligence caused the accident

Even if the circumstances of your accident mean that you are able to build a legal case, many victims wonder if they’ll be able to get the compensation they need to get their lives back on track after a workplace injury. Some of the categories of compensation your lawyer may ask for include:

• Medical expenses
• The cost of future medical treatment
• Lost wages
• Loss of future earning capacity
• Pain and suffering
• Mental anguish
• Physical impairment
• Disfigurement
• Wrongful death damages for surviving family members
