A workplace injury _ depending on its severity_ can be painful, incapacitating, and at all times a stressful situation. In addition, victims and their families lose income from spending time in recovery, can lose potential due to disability or inability to continue working, and face financial strain from medical expenses.

If you or a loved one has recently suffered a workplace injury in Texas you may feel confused regarding the steps you have to take towards your compensation.

Workplace Injuries in Texas

DÍNOS AHORA

According to the Texas Department of Insurance (TDI), Texas private industry employers reported 187,600 total recordable nonfatal workplace injuries in 2019. Of them, almost 50,000 were of a serious nature and resulted in days away from work (DAFW) (For more information, please review Document 1 and Document 2).

During that same year, the goods-producing industries reported 10,030 DAFW cases while the serving-providing industries reported 39,810 DAFW cases. Those employees occupied in building and grounds cleaning and maintenance; arts, design, entertainment, sports, and media; educational instruction and library; and sales registered fewer cases than in 2018 while those occupied in food preparation and serving and computer and mathematical occupations registered statistically significant increases when comparing 2019 to 2018.

Fortunately, relying on an experienced workplace injury attorney in Texas can help you navigate with ease the intricate personal injury case ahead if you or a loved one were injured in the workplace.

Understanding the Difference Between Workers’ Comp and a 3rd Personal Injury Lawsuit

When an injured employee files a worker’s compensation claim in Texas, not only are they required to treat with a doctor chosen by the company, but their weekly benefits will be substantially less than if they recovered damages for all of their injuries and financial losses through a personal injury lawsuit against your company or any other responsible parties.Unlike workers’ comp, a personal injury lawsuit gives you the best chance of making a full physical and financial recovery because you can choose your preferred doctor for treatment and you are enabled to recover all of your damages—including all past and future “economic damages,” such as medical expenses and lost wages—as well as any “non-economic damages,” like pain and suffering, mental anguish, physical impairment, physical disfigurement and, in some cases, punitive damages.
