A sudden injury at work can turn your life upside down.
You're left dealing with pain, mounting medical bills, and uncertainty about your next paycheck.
The stress of it all can be overwhelming, especially when you're worried about your job security and how you'll provide for your family. You know you have rights and options, but the path forward isn't always clear.
If your employer has workers' compensation insurance, you can file a claim to cover your medical care and a portion of your lost wages.

This is one of the most critical questions after a workplace injury in Texas, and the answer depends on your employer.
Workers' compensation is a "no-fault" system. It covers your medical bills and a percentage of your lost income, regardless of who caused the accident. In exchange, you generally cannot file a personal injury lawsuit against your employer.
However, if your employer is a "non-subscriber," meaning they've opted out of the state's workers' comp system, your only option is to file a personal injury claim.
To win, you must prove that your employer's negligence (e.g., failing to provide a safe environment or proper equipment) caused your injury.
Navigating this choice can be confusing. The experienced work comp attorneys at Grant & Flanery can review the facts of your case and help you understand your best legal strategy. Let us help guide your next steps.
If you file a personal injury claim against a non-subscriber employer, we can fight for compensation to cover all of your losses, which may include:
Your claim will cover all past and future medical expenses related to the injury, including hospital stays, surgeries, physical therapy, medication, and any necessary long-term care.
You deserve compensation for any income you've lost while unable to work. If your injury permanently affects your ability to do your job or earn a living, you can also seek damages for your diminished future earning capacity.
Unlike workers' comp, a personal injury claim allows you to seek damages for the physical pain, emotional distress, and mental anguish your injury has caused.
If your injury results in a permanent disability, disfigurement, or impairment that changes your life forever, you deserve to be compensated for that profound loss.
The team at Grant & Flanery will explore every possible avenue to ensure you receive full and fair justice for your workplace injuries and the impact they have on your life.
