When You Are Hurt While Doing Your Job

We all want to go to our work, do a good job, and go home and relax. But injuries at work do happen. It can be difficult to know what to do next. Many employers try to blame you, the accident victim, as a way to avoid having an insurance claim and paying compensation. Some employers may even try to fire you. This is illegal. If you are injured on the job, by law, you are entitled to keep your job and get compensation for your injuries.
At Luis A. Pérez, PC, I can provide the legal information, guidance and support you need to obtain the compensation you are due. Many times, when an attorney gets involved, the employer backs off. Most employers understand that an attorney knows the law and that it is not in their best interests to fight.
Common Work-Related Injuries
Texas employers are required by law to maintain safe working environments for their employees. If you are injured on the job, you deserve compensation. I am attorney Luis A. Pérez, and I frequently help people who have been hurt in:
- Construction site accidents
- Manufacturing facility mishaps
- Falls from roofs or off of equipment
- On-the-job motor vehicle accidents
- On-the-job crushing or burn incidents
- Repetitive stress injuries that happen from job duties
Not all employers are supportive or forthcoming with information. In some cases, an employer may retaliate, they may take illegal steps to get you fired or demoted. Other employers may withhold important information about your rights. They may lead you to believe that the injury was your fault and, therefore, you are not eligible for compensation. I will call them out on this and hold them accountable for every dime that is due to you. If you were driving for work when the injury happened, I can help. You should not have to miss out on lost income or pay medical bills for an accident at work. If you lost a spouse or family member in a fatal accident at work, please get in touch with me.
