Texas is a large state with a growing economy. That’s great for workers, and it’s great for employers. It means there are always jobs, and those jobs pay pretty well.
But more workers means more accidents. And more accidents mean more workplace injuries.
When workers in Texas get injured, they often don’t have a lot of recourse. If your employer maintains worker’s comp insurance, you can file under that.
Unfortunately, worker’s comp isn’t a requirement in Texas, and employers don’t get a policy to save some money.
Without worker’s compensation, the only thing a worker in Texas can do is file a personal injury claim.
Biggs & Greenslade can help you make the right choice to ensure you don’t suffer after getting hurt at work.
Contact our offices today to schedule a consultation to discuss your injury and how we can help.
