Dallas and Harlingen Workplace Injury Lawyer
If you were injured on the job, you may have rights beyond workers’ comp. We investigate all angles to maximize your recovery, fighting for workers in Houston, Austin, San Antonio, and the Rio Grande Valley.
Your Rights Beyond Workers’ Compensation
In Texas, the workers’ compensation system generally prevents you from suing your employer for a workplace injury. However, your injury may have been caused by the negligence of a **third party**—someone other than your employer or a co-worker. In these situations, you have the right to file a separate personal injury lawsuit to recover full damages.
Identifying these third-party claims is critical to your financial recovery. Attorney Chris Sanchez specializes in investigating complex work accidents to uncover all liable parties, such as negligent subcontractors on a **Houston** construction site or the manufacturer of defective equipment used in the **RGV**.
Workers’ Comp vs. Personal Injury Claim:
- Workers’ Comp: Typically covers only medical bills and a percentage of lost wages. It does **not** compensate for pain and suffering.
- Personal Injury Claim: Allows you to recover compensation for ALL damages, including 100% of lost income, future medical care, and the full extent of your physical pain and emotional suffering.
