ON-THE-JOB INJURIES

Hurt at Work? Know Your Rights Before You Talk to Your Employer

Whether you were hurt in a warehouse, on a construction site, in an oilfield, or behind the wheel, a workplace injury can threaten your paycheck, your health, and your future. Employers and their insurance carriers often move fast to limit what they pay.

J.A. Davis & Associates helps injured workers understand whether their claim runs through workers’ compensation or a direct negligence lawsuit against a non-subscribing employer or third party — and fights to get every dollar you’re entitled to.

Hurt on the Job? We Move Fast to Protect Your Claim

The days right after a workplace injury matter most. We move quickly to document the scene, secure your medical care, and protect your claim from an employer or insurer looking to deny it.

  • Incident and injury reports filed with your employer
  • Photos and video from the job site
  • Witness names and statements
  • Safety violation and OSHA records
  • Medical records and treatment history
  • Wage statements and employment records
  • Equipment and maintenance records
  • Access to trusted specialists and rehab care

Common Causes of Work Injuries We Investigate

Texas workplaces are governed by federal OSHA standards and industry-specific safety rules — and many employers cut corners until an injury forces accountability. We hold negligent employers, contractors, and equipment manufacturers responsible.

  • Falls from ladders, scaffolding, and platforms
  • Machinery and equipment malfunctions
  • Inadequate training and safety procedures
  • Improperly maintained tools and vehicles
  • Toxic chemical and gas exposure
  • Overexertion and repetitive motion injuries
  • Struck-by and caught-in-between accidents

South Texas Work Injury FAQ

It depends — if your employer subscribes to workers’ compensation, your remedy is generally limited to comp benefits; if they are a non-subscriber, you may be able to sue for full damages.
Non-subscriber employers cannot use your own negligence as a full defense under Texas law — contact us to see how this applies to your case.

You generally must notify your employer within 30 days and file a claim within one year for workers’ compensation benefits.

You may have a separate claim against a negligent contractor, property owner, or equipment manufacturer in addition to any workers’ comp benefits.
Employers and insurers have lawyers protecting their interests — you deserve the same protection for yours.
