Dependable Advice in Workplace Accident Litigation
Don't assume that workers' compensation has to be your only source of payment for accidents suffered on the job. Texas law allows injured employees to sue for personal injury damages against negligent third-party defendants in workplace accident litigation. In some cases, you can even sue your own employer.

If your employer doesn't participate in the Texas workers' compensation system, you can collect personal injury damages from the employer upon some proof of negligence on the employer's part. If your company is covered under work comp, you will not be able to sue your employer, but you may be able to hold an unrelated defendant accountable if its negligence played an important role in your accident.
We can advise you about the full range of your rights in cases ranging from back or neck injuries to severe brain trauma or permanent spinal cord damage. Whenever possible, we'll help you recover both workers' comp benefits and personal injury damages from the same workplace accident. We also represent the families of fatal accident victims in Texas wrongful death litigation.
Whether you were hurt in a motor vehicle accident, a construction site accident, or a government workplace accident, we can advise and represent you. To learn more about your rights, contact a lawyer at Allison & Ward in Austin for a free consultation.
