How the Laredo Law Office of Eric Ramos Can Help

Being injured at work generally results in a loss of income while you are building up medical bills. This happens when you use up your sick time and vacation days, and then are not being paid for your work. Collecting your workers’ compensation benefits often takes time. Even if the insurer decides you are entitled to full benefits, this may not cover all of your injury-related losses — you can read more about understanding Texas workers’ compensation and what to do if your claim is denied.

Employers may claim your work injury did not occur on the job. They may claim you did not comply with the reporting requirements. Although it is supposed to be an easy, uncomplicated process, it is often just the opposite. There are hurdles you must jump over and the application process for collecting benefits is complex.

At the Laredo Law Office of Eric Ramos, PLLC, we offer a free consultation. We generally can make an appointment to meet with you the same day you call. If you are unable to come to us, in most cases, we can make arrangements to come to you. Workers’ compensation cases must comply with certain time guidelines, similar to the statute of limitations for various personal injury claims in Texas, so please contact us as soon as possible at (956) 275-6060.
