Workplace Accident Lawyer Serving Dallas

Handling Workplace Accidents

There are numerous work environments across Dallas, ranging from offices to construction site, ranches to factories.  Wherever  you work, there is the possibility of a workplace accident occurring.  The types of accidents that occur can range from hurting  your back due to lifting too heavy a box to falling from a scaffolding at a construction site.  Any type of accident can result in serious injuries, requiring medical treatment and possibly lost time from work.  Most workplace injuries are covered by state and federal workers' compensation laws,  which protect workers injured at work.  This compensation entitles you to benefits that include income and medical benefits, which are defined by workers' compensation laws.  To find out what benefits you are entitled to and how to go about getting the compensation you are entitled to, contact the Personal Injury attorneys at the Malaise Law Firm in Dallas.

Work related injuries must be reported to your employer right away.  Your employer is required by law to fill out a claim form and forward it to their workers' compensation insurance company.  If injured, you may choose a doctor of your choice, from an approved list, to go see for treatment.

It is best to have your own legal counsel when submitting your work injury claim, as your employer's insurance company may not be looking at what it will take to make sure you are receiving the proper medical care, nor ensuring you do not return to work before you are physically able.  Our legal team has your best interests in mind and will seek all available benefits for your workplace injury claim.

Another factor to consider in workplace injuries is whether any other party was negligent for your accident.  For example, in a construction site, there may have been other contractors working there that left a hazard on the premises that caused your injury.  In such a case, our attorneys will also pursue any possible claim for damages to that negligent party as well.

With over 40 years of experience helping residents of Dallas, the Malaise Law Firm has the expertise you need to aggressively seek benefits on your behalf.  Our legal team will provide you with excellent customer service and will keep you fully informed of what is occurring on your claim every step of the way.
