Workplace Injuries
Injured at Work in San Antonio, TX?
If you have been injured at work, you may think that Workmen’s Comp is there to help you out. However, Workmen’s Comp was originally started as insurance for the company and not the employee. Plus, in some states like Texas, employers don’t even have to carry workers compensation claim. So, it takes a tough and dedicated personal injury lawyer like Cesar Ornelas to make sure that you are getting compensated for your injuries. Your company probably has plenty of lawyers and company doctors, why would you let them decide how injured you are?
Not All Injuries Are Visible
When you ask most people about getting injured at work, they will think of someone slipping on a spill, falling off a ladder, or getting exposed to some toxic substance. It’s not just that anymore. Workplace bullying, discrimination, violence, and harassment are a very real problems and the mental scars are just as real. Have you suffered any of these at work?
