Texas public employees are not covered by the state workers' compensation system, but instead present their no-fault claims for benefits to the State Office of Risk Management. Just like work comp claims in the private sector, however, these benefits are limited and are typically less than what you would recover in a personal injury lawsuit.
If we can prove that the negligence of someone unrelated to your employer was responsible for your injuries, we can file a personal injury lawsuit for damages that could include pain and suffering, future lost income and the projected future costs of medical care and rehabilitation.
Because our lawyers are familiar with both the proof of liability and damages in personal injury lawsuits and the public employee benefits procedure, we can help with your state or local employee benefit claims while investigating the facts and pursuing your rights in a negligence lawsuit. In some cases, we can recover compensation for you under both systems.
We represent employees at all levels of state and local government in the Austin area, including police officers, firefighters and employees of the University of Texas. Don't assume that you can get the job injury benefits you deserve on your own, and don't be too quick to conclude that you're not entitled to more.
Contact an experienced workplace accidents attorney at Allison & Ward to set up your free initial consultation. We can help you understand the full range of your rights as a state or local government employee in a job-related accident claim.
