Types of Compensation Available Following a Workplace Injury

After being injured on the job, there are two possible routes in which to pursue compensation for your injuries:

If your employer carries workers’ compensation insurance, we may be able to help.
Since ompanies in Texas are not required to carry workers’ compensation insurance, your company may be privately insured, in which case you can sue the company directly for your personal injury. You may also have a personal injury claim against a third party if someone other than your employer or a co-worker did something to cause your injury.

Under Workers’ Compensation, the following types of claims are general brought:

Medical expenses
Disability
Rehabilitation
Death

If you have a personal injury claim against your company (if it carries private insurance rather than workers’ compensation) or a third party, you may be eligible to seek compensation for the following:

Medical expenses
Therapy
Lost income and earning capacity
Pain and suffering
