Being injured on the job and navigating the workers’ compensation system at the same time can be an overwhelming experience. While workers’ compensation is designed to protect employees who are hurt at work, the claims process is often more complicated than it should be — with insurance companies frequently looking for reasons to delay, reduce, or deny legitimate claims. At Attorney at Law Round Rock, our workers’ compensation attorneys help injured workers in Round Rock and throughout Williamson County secure the benefits they are legally entitled to.
Workers’ Compensation Benefits in Texas
If your employer carries workers’ compensation insurance and you are injured on the job, you may be entitled to the following benefits:
- Coverage of all reasonable and necessary medical treatment
- Income replacement benefits during your recovery period
- Impairment income benefits for permanent partial disabilities
- Supplemental income benefits for ongoing impairment
- Lifetime income benefits for the most severe permanent disabilities
- Death and burial benefits for families of workers fatally injured on the job
Our attorneys will carefully review the specifics of your situation to ensure that every benefit you are entitled to is identified and pursued in full.
Understanding Texas Workers’ Compensation Laws
Texas has a unique workers’ compensation system compared to other states. Notably, Texas employers are not required by law to carry workers’ compensation insurance. If your employer is a non-subscriber, you may have the right to file a personal injury lawsuit against them directly, which can result in significantly greater compensation than a standard workers’ compensation claim. Our attorneys are highly experienced in handling both types of claims and will advise you on the best course of action for your specific circumstances.
Fighting Denied and Disputed Claims
If your workers’ compensation claim has been denied or disputed, do not give up. You have the right to appeal the decision, and having an experienced attorney by your side greatly improves your chances of a successful outcome. Our legal team is skilled at navigating the Texas Division of Workers’ Compensation appeals process and will advocate strongly on your behalf at every stage.
