Why You Might Need a Workplace Injury Lawyer
Here’s the thing: after a serious injury at work, you’re not just hurting physically. You could face:
- Lost wages because you can’t work
- Medical bills that pile up fast
- Long‑term care needs for permanent injuries
- Stress from dealing with employers and insurance adjusters
Some employers in Texas don’t even carry workers’ compensation insurance. That means you might lose access to basic benefits unless you have a strong legal strategy.
Even when workers’ comp is available, it might not cover everything you’re facing. Insurance companies often make lowball offers hoping you’ll accept quickly so they spend less. That’s where we step in.
What Counts as a Workplace Injury in Texas?
A workplace injury is any physical harm you suffer while performing tasks for your job. That doesn’t just mean heavy machinery accidents. It includes:
- Falls on slippery floors
- Injuries from defective equipment
- Repetitive strain injuries like carpal tunnel
- Illnesses from unsafe conditions (toxic exposure, loud noise)
- Accidents involving third parties, like careless contractors
In Texas, employers are not always required to carry workers’ compensation insurance. So, if your employer doesn’t participate, you might need to file a personal injury lawsuit to recover compensation for your injuries.

Frequently Asked
Questions
What should I do immediately after I get injured at work?
Report the injury to your supervisor right away, seek medical care, and keep records of all treatment and correspondence. Early documentation helps your claim.
Does my employer have to have workers’ compensation insurance in Texas?
No. Many private employers are not required to carry workers’ comp insurance in Texas. If your employer doesn’t have it, you may need to file a personal injury lawsuit to get full compensation.
How long do I have to file a workplace injury claim?
Deadlines vary. Workers’ compensation and personal injury claims have different time limits. It’s best to talk to a lawyer as soon as possible.
Can I still get compensated if a third party caused my injury?
Yes. If someone other than your employer (like a subcontractor or equipment manufacturer) caused your injury, you may have a separate legal claim.
Will I ever have to pay anything upfront?
No. At Djiba Law, we work on a contingency fee basis. You don’t pay attorney fees unless we recover money for you.
What if my claim was denied?
A denial isn’t the end. You can appeal or file a lawsuit. We handle appeals and fight denials on your behalf.
How long does it take to get compensation?
Every case is different. Some settle in months, others take longer if we go to trial. We’ll give you a realistic timeline based on your situation.
