Understanding Workplace Injuries in San Antonio, TX

Texas workers face on-the-job hazards every day on construction sites, in warehouses, restaurants, and office buildings. Texas law does not require most private employers to carry workers' compensation insurance, so the path to recovery can differ depending on your employer and the circumstances.

• Workers' Compensation Claims: If your employer subscribes to Texas workers' compensation, you may file a claim for medical benefits, income replacement, and other costs.
• Personal Injury Lawsuits (Non-Subscriber Claims): If your employer does not carry workers' compensation, you may have the right to sue them directly, often for greater compensation.

Key Considerations for Injured Workers

1. Report the Injury Immediately: Notify your employer as soon as possible and document it in writing.
2. Seek Medical Attention Right Away: Ensure your injuries are documented by a healthcare provider.
3. Know the Filing Deadlines: Texas statutes of limitations are strict. Acting quickly protects your legal rights.
4. Understand What Compensation You May Be Entitled To:
   • Medical expenses (current and future)
   • Lost wages and reduced earning capacity
   • Pain and suffering
   • Rehabilitation and therapy costs
   • Wrongful death damages for surviving families
5. Be Cautious With Insurance Companies: Avoid giving recorded statements or signing settlement agreements without consulting a lawyer.
