Work Injury Lawyer in Midland

When employers have Texas Workers Compensation Insurance, injured employees may file a claim to seek payment for such items as medical expenses, lost wages, and impairment. Frequently, a lawyer is not needed for this kind of claim because there are limits on what can be recovered. However, if you have been injured on the job by a third party (someone who does not work for your employer), by a defective product or piece of equipment, or your employer does not carry or subscribe to Texas Workers Compensation Insurance, you may have a case in which you might receive more compensation for any injury that you can prove is due to or relates to liability or a wrong on the part of the employer or a third party. Also, if you were injured while driving a company vehicle or your own vehicle during work hours or to do work required of you, you could also have a claim against a negligent third party who caused the wreck. These types of claims typically require a lawyer. Please call us at (432) 423-2374 or click here for a free case review.

High-risk work zones in Midland – like oil fields, construction sites, oil rigs, and highways – have high rates of workplace and auto accidents.

Workers who are injured on the job are entitled to state-regulated workers’ compensation (WC) benefits if the employer has this coverage. Texas is one of the few states, however, that does not require employers to carry WC insurance. In that scenario, some employees are forced to seek alternative means of obtaining compensation for their injuries.

If an employer has opted out of the WC insurance system, an employee may be able to take the employer to court in a lawsuit. An employee can also sue a third party that may have caused or contributed to the damages suffered.
