Texas Work Place Attorney

If you have been injured on the job and your employer is a workersÕ compensation subscriber, you may have a workersÕ compensation claim. Workers' compensation benefits include: medical care, temporary disability benefits, permanent disability benefits, vocational rehabilitation services, and death benefits.

However, your claim for workersÕ compensation benefits may not preclude a claim for compensation you may have against other responsible and negligent parties. These parties may include the premises owner or other contractors at the site. For example, may times an injured person employed for a subcontractor at a jobsite may have claims against other contractors and the premises owner. Another example may include a a injured truck driver hurt by the negligence of another negligent driver.

If you do seek recovery from a responsible third party, the worker's compensation insurance carrier may assert a statutory lien against your recovery against these parties for the benefits paid to you or your family.
