Texas Workers' Compensation vs. Third-Party Claims
Our Houston attorneys help injured workers explore all avenues for compensation beyond the limited benefits of Texas's workers' compensation system.
Texas Workers' Compensation
No-Fault System: You don't need to prove your employer was negligent to receive benefits under Texas law.
Limited Benefits: Only covers a portion of your average weekly wage, medical expenses, and limited disability payments.
No Pain and Suffering: Texas workers' comp does not compensate for pain and suffering or full lost wages.
Employer Immunity: Generally prevents you from suing your Houston employer directly.
Third-Party Claims
Additional Compensation: Allows you to seek damages beyond Texas workers' compensation limits.
Full Damages Available: Includes pain and suffering, full lost wages, and other damages not covered by Texas workers' comp.
Against Other Parties: Claims against equipment manufacturers, subcontractors, property owners, or other negligent third parties in Houston.
Requires Proving Negligence: We must prove the third party was negligent and caused your injuries under Texas law.
Our Houston workplace injury attorneys will evaluate your case to determine if you have a valid third-party claim in addition to your Texas workers' compensation benefits, maximizing your total recovery.
