Follow These 5 Critical Steps If You’re Injured at Work
1️⃣ Report the Injury to Your Employer Immediately
Your first step after a workplace injury is to report it to your supervisor or manager as soon as possible.
- Request a written report and keep a copy for your records.
- Be specific about how the accident happened and what injuries you sustained.
- Do not let your employer pressure you into saying the injury is minor—you may not feel the full effects until later.
💡 Important: Some employers may try to discourage you from filing a claim or delay reporting the incident to their insurance company—don’t let this happen!
2️⃣ Seek Medical Treatment Right Away
Even if your employer’s insurance plan requires you to see their doctor, you should get a second opinion from an independent physician.
🚨 Why? Employer-approved doctors often work to protect the company’s interests—not yours.
- Visit a trusted doctor to ensure your injury is properly diagnosed.
- Follow all prescribed treatments and attend all medical appointments.
- Keep copies of medical records, prescriptions, and doctor’s notes.
💡 Did You Know? If your employer is delaying or refusing medical treatment, you may have legal grounds to sue for negligence.
3️⃣ Document Everything About Your Work Injury
The more evidence you collect, the stronger your case will be.
📌 Take photos of your injury, the accident scene, and any unsafe conditions.
📌 Write down witness statements and get their contact information.
📌 Keep track of all expenses, including medical bills, lost wages, and out-of-pocket costs.
💡 Tip: Many Texas Non-Subscriber employers try to dispute injury claims—having detailed documentation helps protect your case.
4️⃣ Do NOT Sign Anything Without Legal Advice
Your employer or their insurance company may try to pressure you into signing documents that:
- Limit your ability to file a lawsuit
- Settle your claim for far less than you deserve
- Release your employer from future liability
💡 Before signing any paperwork, speak with a Texas work injury attorney to ensure you’re not waiving your rights!
5️⃣ Call a Texas Non-Subscriber Work Injury Lawyer
Since Texas allows private employers to opt out of traditional workers’ compensation, injured workers must file claims through their employer’s private insurance plan—which is often designed to limit benefits and deny claims.
When you call Attorney Hector L. Sandoval, he:
✔️ Fights to ensure you receive medical treatment and wage benefits
✔️ Investigates employer negligence and unsafe workplace conditions
✔️ Negotiates with insurance companies to maximize your compensation
✔️ Files a lawsuit if necessary to hold your employer accountable
💡 Remember: Texas Non-Subscriber employers CAN be sued for negligence—this means you may be entitled to far more compensation than what their insurance plan offers.
