Questions
What workers' compensation benefits am I entitled to in Texas?
Texas workers' compensation provides medical benefits, temporary income benefits, impairment income benefits, and death benefits. Our attorneys help navigate these complex categories.
Do I need a lawyer for a workers' compensation claim?
While Texas provides ombudsmen, only attorneys offer legal protection and advocacy against insurance company defenses in workers' compensation cases.
How are attorney fees handled in workers' compensation cases?
Our fees are overseen by the Division of Workers Compensation and typically withheld directly from client recoveries, never exceeding 25%.
Can car accidents qualify as workers' compensation cases?
Work-related car accidents may qualify for workers' compensation while allowing separate insurance claims. Our attorneys evaluate all potential recovery avenues.
What happens if my workers' compensation claim is denied?
We represent clients in contested case hearings and appeals, challenging improper denials of medical treatment or income benefits by insurance companies.
How quickly can I meet with an attorney?
We offer immediate consultations with attorneys at our Texas offices or through nationwide office-sharing arrangements.
