When you’re injured, you’re under a lot of stress and anxiety already. You need to know what medical benefits you’re entitled to. You need to know how you’re going to get paid. You need to know how you’re going to get back to work. You need to know what the future looks like for you and your family! When no one is providing you the answers, you’re going to need to contact a Texas Work Injury lawyer that can provide you the guidance and reassurance you need to fight for your rights as an injured worker.
After an injury, the company’s power team, which includes management, lawyers, doctors and even other employees, get to work on building a case against you. Make no mistake, TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE! The sooner you act to get legal advice, the better. Along the way, you’re going to hear things that are intended to keep you from taking action and protecting your rights. You’re going to hear things that lead you to believe that you don’t need a lawyer and that the company is going to “take care” of you! It’s you against the company’s power team! You need to protect yourself and know what your up against.
