Getting hurt at work can leave you with debilitating injuries that could impair your ability to continue performing your job duties. You could also accrue high medical bills. Fortunately, you can file a workers’ compensation claim with your employer to obtain benefits to cover these costs.
The Midlothian workers’ compensation lawyers from Clay Jenkins & Associates can help you through the claims process.

In any case, our attorneys can help you determine how to proceed to get the compensation and benefits need.

Workers’ Compensation Benefits We Can Fight for You to Receive
If you file a workers’ compensation claim, you could receive the following benefits:
- Medical expenses
- A portion of your lost income
- Death benefits if you lost a loved one
According to the Texas Department of Insurance (TDI), the state does not require most private employers to carry workers’ compensation insurance. Should your employer choose to opt out, they would be considered a non-subscriber. Note that usually, if your employer has workers’ compensation insurance, you cannot sue them, but if they’re a non-subscriber, you may be able to file a personal injury case against them.
You can also sue for personal injury if a third party, such as a site owner or private contractor’s negligence contributed to your injuries. This way, you can seek compensation for the following losses:
- Medical bills
- Lost income
- The future income you could lose if you cannot return to work in the same job
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress
- Loss of enjoyment
- Wrongful death damages
The Statute of Limitations for Filing Suit After a Workplace Injury in Texas
Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code § 16.003 says you generally have two years from the accident date to sue for personal injury. Otherwise, you could miss your chance to claim compensation. Our attorneys can work with you to help you avoid missing the statute of limitations.
When you hire us to take on your case, you don’t have to worry about legal matters. We can take care of it all. Our legal team understands the issues that could arise and can develop a plan to navigate through them. We want you to feel supported to help reduce the stress this type of case can cause.

Many Construction Workers Suffer Injuries on the Job
Many of our workers’ compensation clients were hurt while working their construction or industrial jobs. The conditions at these workplaces are known for being among the most dangerous. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has compiled a list of what it calls the “fatal four” hazards that result in numerous workplace deaths, which are especially prevalent among construction workers. They include the following:
- Struck-by falling objects
- Caught-in/between objects
- Falls from height
- Electrocutions
Your employer, the construction site owner, and the equipment manufacturers must ensure everyone’s safety and enforce measures to prevent serious, deadly accidents.
Although, our workers’ compensation services aren’t limited to victims of construction injuries, as we help those who were hurt in various workplace accidents. We’re eager to hear about your experience and how we can help during a free consultation.
