Severe Workplace Accident Attorneys in Dallas

Fighting on Behalf of Injured Workers

Unlike most other states, Texas does not require employers to have workers’ compensation insurance. Although this puts injured workers in a vulnerable position, they are not without recourse. The workers’ compensation system is not fault-based, which means that regardless of who is at fault for the accident, workers can obtain these benefits and employers do not have to fear being sued. If your employer does not carry workers’ compensation insurance, however, you can file a personal injury lawsuit to obtain the compensation you need to cover your medical expenses, lost income, pain and suffering, and more. At Mathur Law Offices, P.C., our Dallas personal injury attorneys will fight on your behalf to ensure you can collect the damages you deserve.

Common Severe Workplace Injuries

In Texas, some of the most dangerous industries include the construction, trucking, drilling, and agriculture industries. Many of the injuries workers in these industries sustain are severe, life-altering, or fatal in some cases.

Below are some of the most common injuries sustained in severe workplace accidents:

• Traumatic brain injuries
• Traumatic amputation injuries
• Organ damage
• Spinal cord damage
• Electrocution injuries
• Severe burns
• Death

Most of these injuries produce immediate symptoms except traumatic brain injuries, which might not always exhibit painful symptoms in the aftermath of an accident. For example, when the brain hemorrhages, symptoms might not arise until later and, if an injured person postpones treatment for too long, it could ultimately result in death.

What to Do if Your Employer is a Non-Subscriber

If your employer chose not to subscribe to workers’ compensation insurance, you have the right to pursue damages through a personal injury claim. Moreover, unlike workers’ compensation benefits, there are no limitations to the percentage of lost wages you can recover. In fact, you can recover damages as any other plaintiff would in a personal injury claim, which is substantially more than what you could obtain in a workers’ compensation claim. In a severe workplace accident case, a substantial award can make a big difference in the lives of survivors and their families, especially if they are no longer able to return to the workforce or find new gainful employment.
