Most industrial injuries in this region happen to a contractor or staffing employee working on a premises owner’s site. That creates several possible defendants at once: the premises owner who controlled the hazard, the contractor who directed the work, an equipment manufacturer, and sometimes a staffing agency that placed the worker without training.
Untangling that is the case. Call 713-521-0059.
Three things. The evidence is owned and controlled by the defendant. The injuries are usually severe enough that future care and lost earning capacity dominate the damages. And there are frequently multiple insurers, which changes how a case is negotiated.
Texas is the only state where an employer may lawfully carry no workers compensation. If yours does not, Section 406.033 of the Texas Labor Code bars it from arguing contributory negligence, assumption of the risk, or the negligence of a fellow employee. See our page on non-subscriber work injury claims.
Job safety analyses, the contract between the premises owner and the contractor, training and orientation records, equipment maintenance history, and any incident or root-cause investigation. Most of it exists on day one and some of it stops existing on a retention schedule.
A Texas personal injury claim generally must be filed within two years of the injury under Section 16.003 of the Civil Practice and Remedies Code. Evidence in an industrial setting moves faster than that. Call 713-521-0059.
