What Counts as a Workplace Injury?
A workplace injury is any injury or illness you suffer while performing your job duties. These can happen:
- On a construction site
- At an office
- In a warehouse or factory
- At retail locations like Round Rock Premium Outlets
- Even during job‑related travel or events
Examples include:
- Falls from heights or slips and trips
- Equipment and machinery accidents
- Back, neck, and shoulder injuries
- Exposure to toxic substances
- Repetitive strain injuries
- Hearing loss or respiratory issues
These often require medical care and may affect your ability to work. An attorney can help make sure your claim reflects all of that.
Why Hiring a Workplace Injury Lawyer Matters
Here’s the thing: insurance companies want to pay as little as possible. They often deny valid claims or delay payments. A lawyer can help you:
- Understand your rights under Texas law
- File the correct paperwork and evidence
- Deal with complex rules like the statute of limitations
- Identify all sources of compensation
- Fight back if your claim is denied
- Negotiate with adjusters so you get a fair settlement
In Texas, you usually have two years from the injury date to file a lawsuit. Waiting can cost you your right to compensation.
Do You Need a Lawyer If Your Employer Has Workers’ Comp?
Texas is different from many states. Employers don’t have to carry workers’ compensation insurance. That means:
If your employer does carry workers’ comp
- You may be limited to workers’ compensation benefits
- You usually can’t sue your employer for negligence
- But you might be able to file a lawsuit against a third party (like a contractor or equipment maker) if they had a role in your injury
If your employer does NOT carry workers’ comp
- You can often file a personal injury lawsuit against the employer
- That means you may get compensation for medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and more
The rules can get confusing. You don’t want to figure this out alone.
How Workplace Injury Cases Work
People often think proving negligence in a workplace injury case is straightforward. It’s not. We use clear steps to build your case:
- Medical Care and Records
Seek treatment first. Your medical records are critical evidence in your case.
- Accident Report & Investigation
Report the injury to your employer right away. Get a written report. We’ll help collect:
- Photos of the scene
- Witness statements
- Incident reports
- Medical and accident documentation
- Assess Who’s Responsible
We evaluate whether:
- Your employer failed to keep you safe
- A contractor or third party played a role
- Equipment or machinery was defective
- Claim Filing & Negotiation
We send demand packages to insurance companies. That includes detailed documentation of your injuries and losses.
- Settlement or Trial
Most cases settle, but we’re prepared to go to trial if that’s what’s required to recover full compensation.
This step‑by‑step attention is something many Round Rock firms don’t explain clearly. We do.

Frequently Asked
Questions
Do I have to sue my employer after a workplace injury?
Not always. If there’s workers’ comp, you usually claim that first. If your employer doesn’t carry coverage, you may be able to sue them directly or a third party.
Will my case go to trial?
Most workplace injury cases settle, but if insurance won’t offer a fair deal, we’re ready to go to court. We prepare every case like it could go before a judge.
Can I still get compensation if I was partly at fault?
Yes. Texas uses a comparative fault rule. You can recover compensation even if you share some blame, though your award may be reduced.
What’s the statue of limitations in Texas?
You generally have two years from the injury date to file a lawsuit. Waiting too long could mean you lose your right to compensation.
How long will my case take?
Every case is different. Simple claims can settle in months; complex ones may take longer. We’ll explain what to expect based on your situation.
Can I handle this without a lawyer?
You can try, but insurance companies have teams and lawyers on their side. You deserve someone equally prepared for them.
What if my employer retaliates for filing a claim?
Texas law protects employees from retaliation for filing workers’ compensation claims or hiring a lawyer, and we’ll make sure your rights are enforced.
