Workplace Injuries | On-the-Job Injury Legal Help – Djiba Law
Have you been hurt on the job in Hutto, TX? Wondering what your options are for getting medical bills paid, lost income covered, or compensation for your pain and suffering?
Here’s the honest truth — workplace injuries are complicated. Many people don’t know that Texas does not require all employers to carry workers’ compensation insurance. That means if your employer doesn’t, you might have to take them to court to get what you deserve.
At Djiba Law, we’re workplace injury lawyers right here in Hutto, TX. We help people just like you get the compensation they need after on-the-job injuries, whether it’s through a workers’ compensation claim, lawsuit against a non-subscriber employer, or insurance negotiation.
Why You Might Need a Lawyer
You might think, “I can just file a claim myself.” You could, but here’s the thing:
Insurance companies want to pay as little as possible. They delay, deny, and slow-walk claims. And if your employer is a non-subscriber (allowed in Texas), they won’t have workers’ compensation insurance at all. That can mean lawsuits are your only path forward.
A lawyer on your side:
- Helps you file the right claim the right way
- Collects evidence and medical records
- Handles negotiations with insurers
- Represents you in court, if needed
- Fights for the full compensation you need to recover
That peace of mind matters.

You Hurt at Work. What Now?

What Is a Workplace Injury?
A workplace injury (also called a work injury or on-the-job accident) happens when you get hurt while doing duties for your employer. This includes:
- Slip and falls in the workplace
- Machinery accidents
- Falls from heights on construction sites
- Being hit by vehicles or heavy equipment
- Occupational illness from workplace exposure
If your injuries are linked to your job, you may be able to pursue compensation through workers’ compensation claims or a civil claim — especially if your employer doesn’t carry workers’ comp.
Common Workplace Injury Scenarios We Handle
Here are some examples of cases we see often:
- Construction Site Falls
Someone slips, trips, or falls from scaffolding or uneven ground. The injury is serious — and you’re unsure who pays for care.
- Machinery or Equipment Accidents
Heavy equipment isn’t forgiving. An accident can result in fractures, amputations, or long-term disability.
- Repetitive Stress and Occupational Illness
Not all injuries are sudden. Strains, joint damage, or harmful chemical exposure can build up over time.
- Vehicle and Forklift Injuries
Driving on job sites or warehouses around Hutto brings accidents with vehicles and forklifts.
Each of these requires a different legal approach — and we tailor our strategy to your situation.
How We Work on Your Case
Here’s how we help you step by step:
Case Evaluation and Consultation
We start by listening. We assess your injury, review your medical records, and explain your options.
Filing Claims
Whether it’s workers’ compensation or a lawsuit, we handle all paperwork and deadlines.
Insurance Negotiation
Insurance companies can be tough. We push back when they lowball or delay.
Evidence Collection
We gather medical reports, witness statements, and documentation you might not even think to ask for.
Settlement Calculation
Your compensation should cover more than bills. We include lost wages, future care, pain and suffering, and disability.
Court Representation
If talking doesn’t work, we take it to court and fight for you there.
What You Could Recover
In workplace injury cases, compensation often includes:
- Medical bills
- Lost wages
- Future medical care
- Temporary disability benefits
- Permanent disability benefits
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress
How much you’re entitled to depends on your injury, wage loss, care needs, and other factors.

Frequently Asked
Questions
Do all employers in Texas have to carry workers’ compensation?
No. Texas employers can choose not to carry workers’ compensation insurance. That means you may need to consider a lawsuit if they don’t.
Can I still get compensation if my employer doesn’t have workers’ comp?
Yes. You may have the right to file a civil lawsuit against your employer for negligence.
What if my injury didn’t happen on the job site?
If it relates to your job duties or was required by your work, you still might have a claim.
How long do I have to file a workplace injury claim in Texas?
Texas has deadlines (statutes of limitations). It’s wise to talk to a lawyer quickly.
Do I have to go to court?
Not always. Many cases settle outside of court, but we prepare every case as if it’s going to trial.
What if my claim is denied?
We can help you appeal or pursue alternate legal options.
Do I have to pay upfront legal fees?
No. With Djiba Law, you pay nothing upfront — we get paid only when you get compensation.
