Workplace injury lawyers in Texas know the score

Texas workplace injury lawyers with Jim S. Adler & Associates handle a variety of claims involving job related injuries.
Workplace accidents occur regularly. It's possible to be injured in an office just as much as it is on a construction site.

More than 10 million Americans are injured while on the job or tending to work-related matters.

If you experience a workplace accident, you must report all or any of the following to receive compensation:

  • Workplace Injury Lawyers

    Deaths
  • Major injuries
  • Over-three-day injuries (this is when an employee or self-employed person has an accident at work and is unable to work for over three days, but does not have a major injury)
  • Work-related diseases
  • Dangerous occurrences
  • Where a member of the public is taken directly to hospital

This is to ensure that you receive maximum compensation by your employer, or those at fault, if your workplace accident goes to trial.

  • Institute a program for frequent and regular inspections of the job site, materials, and equipment by a competent person(s).
