Workers’ compensation is an insurance program that provides benefits to employees who suffer job-related injuries or illnesses. These benefits include medical care, income replacement, and compensation for permanent disabilities. In Texas, workers’ compensation also provides benefits to families of workers who have died due to work-related causes. It’s important to be aware that in Texas, employers can choose not to participate in the state’s workers’ compensation system. Those that opt out are known as “non-subscribers.”
No. While The Barber Law Firm DOES handle cases involving work injuries, the firm can only assist when the employer is a “non-subscriber.” If your employer subscribes to a workers’ compensation plan, the sole remedy you have is to make a claim under your employer’s workers’ compensation plan.
Yes. The Barber Law Firm represents individuals for workplace injury claims across Texas. In these cases, the employer is a “non-subscriber,” meaning the employer has opted out of the state’s workers’ compensation benefits.
If you’re injured on the job, report the injury to your employer as soon as possible, typically within 30 days. Seek medical treatment for your injury, and make sure to inform the healthcare provider that your injury is work-related. Then, contact The Barber Law Firm to discuss your rights and the next steps in filing a workers’ compensation claim.
In Texas, the rules regarding choosing a doctor for a work-related injury depend on whether your employer participates in the state workers’ compensation system or has a private occupational injury benefit plan. The Barber Law Firm can advise you on your rights and help ensure you receive appropriate medical care.
If your employer denies responsibility for your workplace injury, you should
contact The Barber Law Firm in order to effectively appeal the denial. Our
experienced attorneys can help you navigate this process.
It is illegal for an employer to retaliate against an employee for filing a workers’ compensation claim. If you believe you’ve been fired or faced discrimination for claiming benefits, The Barber Law Firm can help you protect your rights and potentially seek compensation for wrongful termination or retaliation.
Financial recovery from a work-related injury case can include compensation
for past and future medical bills, past and future lost wages, mental anguish,
physical impairment, physical pain, disfigurement, as well as past and future
lost earning capacity if there is a permanent disability and you are unable to
return to work.
