How a Pflugerville Workplace Injury Lawyer Can Help You

When you’re injured on the job, you’re suddenly dealing with medical bills, lost paychecks, pain, and uncertainty. Filing a workplace injury or workers’ comp claim isn’t always simple. Insurance companies may deny or delay your benefits. You might not know what your rights are.

That’s where our team steps in.

We help with:

• Filing workers’ compensation claims correctly and on time
• Investigating what happened behind the scenes
• Reviewing medical records and accident reports
• Collecting evidence like witness statements and payroll records
• Negotiating with insurers so you get fair compensation
• Representing you at hearings and, if needed, in court

Many people don’t realize how much documentation and legal experience are involved until they’re already overwhelmed. We handle that for you. We talk to medical providers, insurers, and your employer’s lawyers so you don’t have to stress about it while you’re healing.

Common Types of Workplace Injuries in Pflugerville

Workers’ Compensation in Texas – What You Should Know

Here’s something many people don’t know: Texas doesn’t require most private employers to carry workers’ compensation insurance. That’s different from most states.

So what does that mean for you?

• If your employer does have workers’ comp insurance, you generally must file a workers’ comp claim first.
• If your employer does not have workers’ comp coverage (they’re a “non‑subscriber”), you might be able to file a personal injury lawsuit against them directly for negligence, including for lost wages, pain and suffering, future income loss, and more.

That’s a lot to sort out while you’re trying to recover. We help you figure out which path makes sense for your situation.

What You Can Recover in a Workplace Injury Case

People often think a workplace injury claim only gets you medical bills paid. That’s just one piece of it. You could be entitled to:

• Medical expenses
• Lost income and lost future earning capacity
• Pain and suffering
• Disability benefits
• Compensation for long‑term or permanent injury

Whether you deal with a workers’ comp insurer or pursue a lawsuit under Texas personal injury law, we fight to get you what you’re owed.

Workplace Injury Stories: What We’ve Seen

Honestly, no two cases are the same. But here are real examples of how work injuries can affect people:

• Someone slips and falls at a Pflugerville warehouse, injuring their back and missing weeks of work.

• A construction worker near Sonterra falls from equipment, needing surgery and long‑term physical therapy.
• An employee at a manufacturing plant gets caught in machinery and faces permanent disability.

In each case, claims weren’t just about medical bills. People needed help with lost wages, future care costs, and peace of mind. That’s where strong legal advice makes a difference.

Frequently Asked

Questions

Do I need a lawyer for a workers’ comp claim in Texas?

If your claim is straightforward and everything is paid quickly, maybe not. But if benefits are denied, treatment is cut off, or you have long‑term issues, legal help can make a big difference. Having a lawyer early often gets better outcomes.

What if my employer doesn’t have workers’ comp insurance?

Texas allows employers to “opt out” of workers’ comp. If they do, you might be able to sue them for negligence directly. That can mean higher compensation than workers’ comp would offer.

How long do I have to file a workplace injury claim in Texas?

Deadlines matter. For workers’ comp benefits, you must notify your employer quickly after the accident. For personal injury claims, you have a limited number of years (the statute of limitations). Call us right away so you don’t miss your chance.

What if I was partly at fault for my injury at work?

In personal injury cases, Texas uses a “comparative fault” rule. You can still recover compensation as long as you’re less than 51% responsible, though your award may be reduced based on your share of fault.

My employer fought my workers’ comp claim. What now?

Insurance companies often fight claims. We can help you appeal denials, push for fair benefits, and even take the case to hearing if needed.

Can I get compensation for future medical care?

Yes. If your injury means future surgeries, therapy, or long‑term care, your claim can include those anticipated costs.

What should I bring to my first consultation?

Bring any medical records, accident reports, employer injury reports, and insurance correspondence you have. We’ll help you fill in the gaps.
