If you have been injured at work, you can look to workers' compensation to provide benefits such as medical care and disability income while you are unable to work. However, workers' compensation benefits are limited and will not compensate you for everything you have lost. For example, your disability benefits replace only two-thirds of lost wages and do not pay you anything for pain and suffering.
In certain situations, such as when your employer does not carry worker's compensation insurance, you may have a right to seek full compensation by filing a personal injury lawsuit against the party who caused your injury. At the Law Offices of Randall D. Moore, we provide a free initial consultation to evaluate your case, if your employer does not carry worker's compensation insurance. We represent injured workers and their families throughout the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex and north Texas.
The following pages provide more information about work-related accidents:
- Construction accidents: Safety procedures and equipment are supposed to be in place to protect workers, but sometimes they are not. Falling equipment, scaffolding accidents, defective safety equipment and subcontractor negligence can result in serious injury or death.
- Explosions: Explosions can occur on oil and gas fields and other settings due to mechanical failure or improper ventilation, improperly identified pipelines at construction sites, or improperly handled explosive chemicals.
- Oil and gas field accidents: To get the oil or gas out of the ground, roughnecks work long days under dangerous conditions. Oil and gas drilling is a high-risk industry that causes devastating injuries to workers from blowouts, explosions and other accidents.
