What to Do After a Work Accident
After a work accident, you may be unsure of what to do next. However, there are several steps you can take to protect your rights and increase your chances of recovering the compensation you are owed.
After a work accident, you should:
- Report the accident to your employer: You should report the accident to your employer as soon as possible. In Texas, you have 30 days to report the accident, but you should do so as soon as you can. If you wait too long, your employer may claim that your injuries were not caused by the accident.
- Seek medical attention: You should see a doctor as soon as possible after the accident, even if you do not think you were seriously injured. Some injuries may not be immediately apparent, and seeing a doctor can help you get the treatment you need and create a record of your injuries.
- Document the accident: You should write down everything you can remember about the accident, including the date, time, and location, as well as what you were doing when the accident occurred. You should also take pictures of the accident scene and your injuries.
- Keep track of your expenses: You should keep track of all your expenses related to the accident, including your medical bills, lost wages, and any other costs you incur as a result of your injuries.
- Do not give a recorded statement: You should not give a recorded statement to your employer’s insurance company without first speaking to an attorney. The insurance company may try to use your statement against you to deny your claim.
- Do not accept a settlement offer: You should not accept a settlement offer from the insurance company without first speaking to an attorney. The insurance company may try to get you to accept a lowball offer that does not fully compensate you for your losses.
After a work accident, you should also consider speaking to an attorney. An attorney can help you understand your rights and options and guide you through the process of seeking the benefits you are owed.
How Our Work Accident Lawyer Can Help
After a work accident, you may be entitled to compensation through a workers’ compensation claim. In Texas, most employers are required to carry workers’ compensation insurance, which provides benefits to employees who are injured on the job.
Workers’ compensation benefits can include:
- Medical benefits
- Income benefits
- Death benefits
However, the workers’ compensation system can be complex, and many valid claims are denied. An attorney can help you navigate the system and fight for the benefits you are owed.
If your employer does not carry workers’ compensation insurance, you may be able to file a personal injury claim to recover compensation for your losses. In addition, if your injuries were caused by a third party, you may be able to file a personal injury claim against that party.
At Mendez Law Firm, we can help you with all types of work accident claims, including those involving:
- Industrial accidents
- Construction accidents
- Oilfield accidents
- Warehouse accidents
- Office accidents
- Transportation accidents
- Factory accidents
- Retail accidents
- Restaurant accidents
- Healthcare accidents
- Warehouse accidents
- Office accidents
- Transportation accidents
- Factory accidents
- Retail accidents
- Restaurant accidents
- Healthcare accidents
These are just a few examples of the types of work accidents that can occur. No matter what type of accident you were involved in, if you were hurt on the job, you may be entitled to compensation.
