McAllen Work Injury Lawyers
Workers’ compensation benefits often disappoint work injury victims because they rarely satisfy all of their financial needs, especially when they’ve been seriously injured. You may not have to settle for a fraction of your regular wages, particularly if dangerous or negligent workplace conditions played a role in causing your harm.

WHO IS LIABLE FOR YOUR INJURIES
When Can a Work Injury Claim Be Filed?
Those injured at work in Texas usually cannot sue their employers and must receive benefits through workers’ comp. However, there are several exceptions — you can file a personal injury claim if someone other than your employer is responsible for your workplace injury.
Workers Comp in Texas
Whether it involves an 18-wheeler, container truck, semi-truck, or any commercial vehicle, we immediately secure critical evidence before it disappears — and connect you with Level 1 trauma facilities and specialized rehabilitation at no up-front cost.
SERIOUS INJURIES
Common Workplace Injuries
Workplace injuries can occur in any work environment, no matter how safe or dangerous the field is typically perceived to be. Although construction consistently reports some of the highest injury rates in Texas, any injury in any industry deserves full compensation under the law — a broken bone at an office job is no less severe than the same break at a construction site.
TEXAS LAW YOU SHOULD KNOW
Additional Legal Considerations
Modified comparative negligence means you cannot recover damages if you’re primarily responsible for your injuries. It’s also critical to file suit within Texas’s statute of limitations — generally two years after the date of the accident. Filing outside this window means your claim likely won’t be considered valid.
Compensation
Your ability to recover adequate compensation hinges on how well you can demonstrate the impact of your injuries on your daily life. Economic damages are generally limited to the actual financial losses you’ve incurred; non-economic damages are usually uncapped and include losses that can’t be easily quantified into dollars and cents.
