Giant Wins for All Injuries
Our personal injury lawyers handle a wide range of accidents and serious injuries across Texas.
Typically, when workers are hurt on the job during their employment, the injuries will be compensated by workers’ compensation insurance if their employers are in the system.
Workers’ compensation is a state-administered business insurance program that provides benefits to employees who suffer work-related injuries or illnesses. Medical expenses and lost wages are among the benefits provided by workers’ compensation.
Should you be hurt in a car accident on the job in which you or a co-worker were at fault, it will likely be workers’ compensation that provides you with benefits if your employer is covered. But you could sue a third party if you’re injured in an auto wreck that meets neither of those criteria.
You need an experienced personal injury attorney in Brownsville, TX that can analyze the facts of your case, maximize your potential recovery, and protect your legal claims.
AT THE LAW GIANT,
We Win Big!
With thousands of satisfied clients, our attorneys have what it takes.
Following a devastating 18-wheeler accident, our client sustained life-altering spinal injuries. By illustrating the full extent of the truck driver’s negligence and the impact on our client’s health and future, we secured essential financial relief.
Unlike other states, employers in Texas are not required by law to carry workers’ compensation insurance. Many do, however, because the workers’ comp laws limit the amount and type of compensation employees hurt or sickened on the job can receive. Employers who aren’t covered are called “non-subscribers.” Those who opt out of workers’ comp coverage don’t have the same protection from lawsuits filed by injured workers.
You need our personal injury lawyers to understand your employer’s status and the interplay of possible third-party liability. For example, we can help protect any third-party settlement from possible subrogation from another party in the matter.
Subrogation can occur when workers’ comp, for example, pays your claim and then steps into your shoes to sue another responsible party or when you make a settlement with a third party and workers’ comp wants to be paid back for any benefits it provided.
If workers’ comp insurance covers your employer and you have work-related auto accident injuries, workers’ comp will pay your lost wages and medical claims. This will be the case even if you or a co-worker were at fault for the accident. Workers’ comp will also pay your claims if a third party is at fault, even though you can also make a claim against the negligent party.
When you have a work-related car accident attorney from Begum Law Firm on your case, you may be able to keep more of any third-party compensation.
Now, if you have a car accident while traveling for work and your employer doesn’t have workers’ comp, you can sue your employer if there is a way to show liability.
Third-party claims refer to those made against someone other than your employer. An example would be that you’re on your sales route when a drunk driver hits you. The negligent driver would be liable for your injuries. In some situations, you might even have a claim against parties such as a negligent auto service provider, manufacturer, or an entity that caused a poor road condition.
Understand that when your employer is a non-subscriber, and there is no potential third-party claim, the issue of possible compensation could come back to your own auto and health insurance.
The bottom line is that issues of fault and liability are often very complex, especially when considering the workers’ comp, the lack of it, or if some other negligent party is involved. Don’t try to sort through these complexities alone. The Law Giant can help.
Being in a car accident can lead to serious injuries, loss time from work, and financial stress. If you were working at the time, the issues of liability and who’s going to compensate you for your injuries becomes complicated.
Don’t despair. The experienced Brownsville worker injury attorneys at The Law Giant, Personal Injury & Accident Lawyers can take the stress of figuring out the legal matters from you so you can concentrate on getting better and returning to work. With an attorney, you can maximize your recovery and protect it from possible subrogation claims.
