A job-related injury does not always lead to a straightforward workers' compensation claim. In Texas, many private employers can choose not to participate in the workers' compensation system, which means your potential legal remedies may depend heavily on your employer and the circumstances of your accident.
If your employer carries workers' compensation insurance, you may be eligible for benefits related to medical care and lost wages. If your employer does not carry coverage, you may instead have grounds to pursue a personal injury lawsuit against an employer or another negligent party.
Determining which rules apply can be challenging, particularly when the facts are disputed or an insurance company refuses to offer fair benefits.
Biggs & Greenslade can review your situation, explain the legal avenues available to you, and help you pursue the compensation you may be entitled to under Texas law.
Workplace injuries can require emergency care, surgery, rehabilitation, medication, or long-term treatment. Depending on the circumstances, we may pursue compensation for accident-related medical expenses and future healthcare needs.
An injury can prevent you from working or make it difficult to return to the same job. Your claim may include lost wages, reduced earning capacity, and other financial effects caused by your inability to work.
The impact of an accident is not limited to financial losses. Pain, emotional trauma, anxiety, and disruptions to your everyday life may also be relevant when evaluating the full extent of your damages.
Some workplace injuries result in permanent disabilities or limitations that affect a person's independence and future employment opportunities. We work to account for the lasting consequences of serious injuries when pursuing compensation.
The damages available in a workplace injury case depend on the applicable legal claim and the details of the accident. Our team examines the broader impact of your injury to identify losses that may otherwise be overlooked.
After a workplace accident, injured employees often expect their employer to help them obtain treatment and recover. Unfortunately, some workers instead encounter resistance, skepticism, or pressure during an already stressful time.
You may be dealing with:
These experiences can leave injured workers feeling isolated and unsure of what to do next.
Biggs & Greenslade helps take the legal burden off your shoulders. We investigate the circumstances surrounding your accident, address disputes, and advocate for your interests while you focus on your recovery.
Employees who drive for work may be injured in collisions involving negligent motorists, unsafe company vehicles, poor maintenance, or hazardous driving conditions. These accidents can create complicated questions about liability and available insurance coverage.
Industrial equipment and heavy machinery can cause catastrophic injuries when safety procedures, employee training, inspections, or maintenance are neglected.
Unsafe walking surfaces, spills, defective stairs, inadequate lighting, and other dangerous conditions can lead to fractures, head injuries, back injuries, and other serious harm.
Workplace injuries can happen in countless ways. Our attorneys can review the details of your accident and explain whether you may have a workers' compensation claim, personal injury claim, or another legal option.
Texas takes a different approach to workers' compensation than many other states. Most private employers are not required to carry workers' compensation insurance, and some choose to operate outside the state system.
Your options may depend on whether your employer:
Employees of participating employers may qualify for benefits covering certain medical expenses and income losses. When an employer does not carry workers' compensation insurance, an injured worker may be able to file a personal injury lawsuit if another party's negligence or wrongful conduct caused the accident.
Because the legal requirements and available remedies vary, speaking with an experienced Plano workplace injury lawyer can help you understand how Texas law applies to your circumstances.
A fatal workplace accident can leave a family facing profound emotional and financial hardship. When a death results from unsafe working conditions, negligence, or the misconduct of another party, surviving family members may have the right to pursue a wrongful death claim.
A wrongful death claim may help address losses such as funeral and burial expenses, lost financial support, and other damages recognized under Texas law. Although no legal action can undo the loss, pursuing a claim may provide financial assistance and a path toward accountability.
The Plano wrongful death attorneys at Biggs & Greenslade approach these cases with compassion, care, and determination. We help families understand their rights and pursue appropriate legal remedies during an incredibly difficult time.
A workplace accident can leave you uncertain about your health, finances, and future. You deserve clear information about your legal rights and an advocate who will take your concerns seriously.
