Presenting Your Claim for Soft-Tissue Injuries
Perhaps the most common injuries suffered in workplace accidents are those involving trauma to the back, neck or shoulder. These injuries can be deceiving in their severity — while hardly life-threatening, they can be very painful and keep you away from work for a long time.
To learn about your right to payment for soft-tissue injuries suffered on the job, contact a lawyer at Allison & Ward in Austin. We present claims for benefits in the Texas workers' compensation system and damages claims in negligence lawsuits. Whenever possible, we'll use both approaches to get what you need to support your family through a long recovery period.

Our clients in soft-tissue injury cases include people injured at work in the following types of situations:
- Truck or car accidents
- Warehouse or loading dock accidents
- Construction site accidents
- Accidents in public employment, including police and firefighters
- Health care workers' claims
- Accidents resulting from dangerous property conditions at work or offsite
Our experience with the proof of damages for injuries ranging from severe sprains and strains to disc herniation or surgical knee conditions can help you settle your claims without the need for a trial or take your case all the way to court, if necessary.
If your employer is covered under the Texas workers' compensation system, we can protect you from the problems that can result from a misdiagnosed condition, a denied claim or premature termination of your benefits.
If your company does not participate in the workers' comp system, we can proceed directly toward a personal injury lawsuit for negligence damages against your employer or any other defendant who can be held accountable for your injuries.
