Frequently Asked Questions
What should you do if you're injured on the job?
If you have been injured on the job, you have rights and options under Texas law. There are also protections in place for businesses and business owners, so it is important that you act quickly when there has been an accident, injury, or death at the workplace.
One of the most important things you can do is to report the incident. This might seem fairly obvious; however, there are many times a person is injured without requiring immediate medical attention, so it might seem like a good idea to wait and see and not mention the incident. When a workplace accident is not reported, however, an employer or other responsible party can potentially avoid responsibility for what happened to you.
The legal team at Dax F. Garza, P.C. is ready to help you. Take the first step today and schedule a free consultation to learn more about your options.
