We advise and represent clients who have suffered injuries ranging from severe soft tissue damage to disabling brain or spinal cord trauma. We know how to establish liability and prove damages in situations such as:
- Forklift or pallet jack accidents
- Motor vehicle accidents at loading docks or elsewhere in a freight yard
- Injuries caused by falls
- Injuries caused by falling overhead objects
- Injuries caused by wet or slippery floors or parking areas
Don't assume that Texas work comp is your only remedy for industrial accidents in warehouses or loading docks. Your employer might not even carry workers' compensation insurance, so it may be held liable in a negligence lawsuit for higher damages. There may also be another defendant to pursue, such as a supplier or transfer company whose driver or employee was negligent at your worksite.
If your employer is covered by Texas workers' comp, you can collect benefits on a claim for workers' compensation while we evaluate and pursue your claims for personal injury damages against another responsible party.
In other words, we can help you recover money under workers' compensation, an injured employee benefit plan, or through litigation on a negligence claim. In some cases, we'll pursue your rights under more than one system. Our experience with industrial accidents helps you collect the benefits or damages you have coming from as many sources as possible, not just the most obvious ones.
