Next Steps

What to Do After a Workplace Injury in San Antonio

If you’ve been hurt on the job, the first thing you should do is report the injury to your employer and seek medical attention right away, even if the injury seems minor. Document everything, including how the accident happened, photos of the scene, and the names of any witnesses. Be cautious about signing paperwork from your employer or their insurance provider before speaking with an attorney. In Texas, many employers don’t carry workers’ compensation, which means you may have the right to file a personal injury claim directly. A San Antonio workplace injury lawyer can help you understand your options and make sure you aren’t pressured into accepting less than you deserve.

Common Workplace Injury Questions

Can I sue my employer for a workplace injury in Texas?

In many cases, yes. Texas is unique because employers are not required to carry workers’ compensation insurance. If your employer is a “non-subscriber,” you may have the right to file a personal injury lawsuit directly against them for negligence.

What if my employer says the injury was my fault?

Employers often try to shift blame onto the worker to avoid liability. Even if you were partially at fault, Texas law may still allow you to recover compensation as long as you were less than 51% responsible for the accident.

What types of workplace injuries qualify for a claim?

Almost any injury caused by unsafe conditions, faulty equipment, lack of training, or employer negligence can qualify. This includes falls, repetitive stress injuries, chemical exposure, machinery accidents, and injuries from lifting or manual labor.

What if I'm afraid of losing my job for filing a claim?

Texas law protects workers from retaliation for reporting injuries or filing claims. If your employer fires you, demotes you, or retaliates in any way, that is illegal and you may have grounds for an additional legal claim.

How much does it cost to hire a workplace injury lawyer?

Our firm handles workplace injury cases on a contingency basis, which means you pay nothing unless we recover compensation for you. There are no upfront fees and no financial risk to you for reaching out.
