Workplace Accident Attorneys in San Antonio

Holding Employers Accountable for Injuries at Work

When you are injured on the job, Texas workers' compensation is supposed to take care of you. Unfortunately, this does not always work out the way you would expect. The money and medical coverage you get through the workers’ compensation program may not cover all of your bills. Plus, many employers fail to subscribe to the state workers' compensation plan, so you may have no coverage at all.

If you or a loved one was injured or killed in the workplace, you may have the right to file a lawsuit for compensation or even additional compensation on top of your workers' compensation benefits. You need the help of a San Antonio attorney who understands workplace accidents and how to get the maximum amount for your injuries – you need Maloney Law Group, P.L.L.C.

Examples of Workplace Accidents

At our firm, we know the law and how to apply it correctly to these situations. Work injury cases can be very complicated, as proving liability can take a lot of time and investigation. Our team has the experience, knowledge, and resources to see these cases through to the end – including bringing them before a judge and jury.

We accept cases involving:

• Construction accidents
• Oil field injuries, including those on the Eagle Ford Shale, the Barnett Shale, and the Permian Basin
• Auto accidents involving work vehicles
• Serious injuries involving defective products

Suing an Employer over a Work Injury

Companies that do pay into the workers' compensation plan are generally exempt from lawsuits by employees who have been injured on the job.

However, you can file a lawsuit if:

• Your employer does not carry workers' compensation coverage
• Your injury was caused by a third party
• The employer was guilty of gross neglect in the case of a fatality

Our lawyers can evaluate your situation and let you know whether you have a legitimate case. If you do, we will pursue every avenue of compensation vigorously so you get the money you need to cover your medical bills, lost wages, and any other costs associated with your workplace accident.
