On-the-Job Injuries
Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex Workplace Accident Injury Lawyer
If you have suffered a work related injury owing to an accident on the job, you may be entitled to receive significantly more money than just worker's compensation benefits. If you are injured on the job because of the negligence of another, or if you are injured on the job and your employer does not subscribe to a workers compensation insurance plan, then you could be entitled to monetary benefits. This can be a straight negligence claim against the employer or an independent claim against the party or parties responsible for your on-the-job injury.
Often, other companies' employees, oil and gas equipment manufacturers, construction equipment manufacturers, and other industrial manufacturers share additional liability for your injuries.

Fight for more than just worker's compensation for your work related injury
A work related injury at your place of employment does not end with a worker's compensation claim. Your injuries might have occurred because of the negligence of another person with a different company or a product. Likewise, if your company is a non-subscriber to the workers compensation insurance plan, then you may have a cause of action directly against your own employer. Manufacturers, property owners, and employers have a responsibility to provide reasonable safeguards against industrial and other workplace accidents that occur while you are on the job or using their machinery. I have the resources and experience to investigate your accident to determine all of the insured parties who may be held liable for payment. Unlike many personal injury "factories, I don't handle hundreds of cases every year, nor will I ever push you toward a fast settlement. You can be sure that I will work toward a maximum courtroom award.
