Workplace Injuries
San Antonio Work Injury Lawyer
If you were injured at work, Attorney Eric A. Ramos can help you collect the full compensation you deserve. Even if your employer has workers’ compensation insurance, you may be entitled to an additional recovery.
While employers look at on-the-job injuries in terms of loss of productivity, we understand that getting injured on the job means far more than being unable to do your job. Once you use up your sick days and vacation days (or paid time off), not working means not getting paid. You may be eligible for workers’ compensation, but (i) collecting benefits takes time, and (ii) even if you receive “full” benefits, they still typically do not cover all of your injury-related losses. Injured employees often face financial hardship, and providing for their families often requires more than the minimum workers’ compensation benefits allowable under Texas law.
Can I bring a lawsuit in Texas if my employer has worker’s compensation insurance?
As a general rule, employees cannot sue their employers for work-related injuries. This is a function of Texas workers’ compensation laws, which provide an “exclusive remedy” for injured workers in Texas. This means that if your employer has workers’ compensation insurance, you cannot sue. Unfortunately, this system tends to provide some compensation for all, but full compensation for none.

You May Have a Third Party Claim
If your injury was fully or partially caused by a third-party you may be able to file a claim. This is a claim against a person or company other than your co-worker or employer that is legally responsible for your work-related injury. While you cannot sue your employer (in most cases), you can sue any other party that is to blame, and pursuing a claim may allow you to recover compensation for the physical, emotional, and financial costs of your injury. We search for potentially responsible third parties in every work injury claim.
