Construction Site Injury Attorney 

In Texas, some employers have the option to "opt out" of the workers' compensation system. If you work for such an employer and are injured on the job, you have the right to file a lawsuit directly against your employer.

Texas stands alone as the only state in the country that allows employers to choose not to participate in the workers' compensation system. These employers must maintain some form of private insurance. When an employee of such a company sustains a job-related injury, they can pursue a lawsuit against the employer. These cases are often referred to as "non-subscriber workplace injury" claims. If it can be demonstrated that a hazardous condition existed on the job and directly led to the injury, the worker may have a valid case against their employer. Damages in such claims may encompass lost wages, incurred medical expenses, and future losses. Handling these matters can be complex, and it is strongly advised that you seek the guidance of an attorney experienced in this area.
