Attorney Services: Frequently Asked Questions About Workplace Injury Cases

Our personal injury attorney team answers common questions about workplace injury cases:

Our Practice & Expertise

What types of work accidents do you handle?

We handle all workplace accidents – construction falls, equipment failures, offshore injuries, refinery explosions, chemical exposures, and more. We help workers in all industries who have been hurt on the job.

How long have you been handling work injury cases?

Since 1995. Our lawyers have nearly 30 years of success with workplace accident cases throughout Texas.

What makes your firm different from other work injury lawyers?

We look beyond workers’ compensation to find all sources of recovery, prepare every case for trial, maintain a manageable caseload, and give you direct access to experienced attorneys.

Legal Process & Timeline

How long will my work accident case take?

Timeframes vary based on case complexity and injury severity. Some cases settle in 6-12 months, while more complex cases might take 1-2 years. We focus on getting the best outcome, not just the quickest.

What happens after I hire your firm?

We immediately start investigating – gathering evidence, talking to witnesses, consulting experts, and documenting the accident scene. We handle all communications with insurance companies while you focus on recovery.

Fees & Representation

What is your fee structure for work accident cases?

We work on contingency – you pay nothing upfront, and we only get paid if we win your case. Our fee comes as a percentage of the recovery, ensuring our interests align with yours.

Case Evaluation & Qualification

Can I sue if I'm receiving workers' compensation?

While workers’ comp limits your ability to sue your employer, you may have claims against third parties like equipment manufacturers, subcontractors, or property owners. We identify all possible sources of compensation beyond workers’ comp.

What should I bring to my consultation?

Bring all relevant documents: accident reports, medical records, employment information, witness contacts, photos of the accident scene, and any correspondence about your claim. The more details you provide, the better we can evaluate your case.

How much compensation might I receive for my work injury case?

Each case is different. Compensation depends on injury severity, medical costs, lost wages, future earning capacity, and pain and suffering. We’ll give you a realistic assessment based on our experience with similar cases.

Specialized Practice Questions

How do offshore injury cases differ from other workplace accidents?

Offshore injuries often fall under maritime law, including the Jones Act, Longshore and Harbor Workers’ Compensation Act, or the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act. These laws provide different protections and compensation structures than standard workers’ comp. We know how to navigate these complex legal frameworks.
