Auto/Work Injury Law in San Antonio, TX
VERY IMPORTANT: Our San Antonio Firm is unique in that we are one of the very few firms in San Antonio that actively and aggressively handle both Personal Injury Cases AND Workers’ Compensation Cases every day. Some personal injury firms advertise that they handle workers’ Compensation claims, but they don’t and often don’t know how. We do. We do it every day. Worker’s Compensation law in Texas is complicated and confusing. Why is it important that you consider a firm that actively handles both personal injury and workers compensation claims? Because if you’re injured at work by or through the negligence of a 3rd party and your employer has workers’ compensation insurance, under the WC policy you are entitled to lifetime medical benefits under Texas law for the injuries you sustained AND disability income for up to 2 years if these injuries impede your ability to work. Without a skilled lawyer overseeing your workers’ compensation claim, there could be matters that arise that if not handled properly could have a negative impact on your 3rd party personal injury claim. Ask yourself, with so much at stake, why would you trust your claims to a firm that is unable or unwilling to represent you for BOTH your personal injury AND workers’ compensation claim?
