Our Attorneys Will Earn Their Keep.

You may worry about the cost of hiring an attorney – especially since you were injured on the job. The last thing you need is another bill. Texas workers' compensation law prescribes a rigorous system to ensure that an attorney does the work before getting paid. All of our fees are reviewed by the Division of Workers' Compensation. Upon approval, the Division of Workers' Compensation will issue an order to your adjuster to pay a portion of your benefits to us.

We never take money directly from you. We don’t get paid unless, and until, you receive income benefits. We explain our fees upfront so there are no surprises. The percentage we charge is set by law.

Were you denied workers’ compensation benefits? Is the insurance company threatening to suspend or reduce your benefits? Are you being forced back to work? In any of these cases, you have nothing to lose and everything to gain by hiring a Texas attorney to protect your legal rights with your workers’ compensation claim.

If you were hurt on the job, there’s no time to waste. You must report the accident to your employer within 30 days of your injury, or you may not be entitled to receive Texas workers’ compensation.

Were you hurt on the job in Texas, but your employer or supervisor is refusing to file an accident report? Is your employer threatening to suspend you or fire you? Are you being forced back to work, but you’re still too injured to return? Is your doctor mistreating you or not giving you the treatment you need?

If you can answer “yes” to any of these questions, you may need an attorney. Texas Workers’ Compensation laws are supposed to help you and your family make ends meet while you’re recovering, but the system doesn’t always work that way.
