El Paso Workers’ Compensation Attorneys

We Offer 24/7 Legal Service

Workers’ compensation is a state-regulated insurance program that financially assists employees suffering from work-related injury or illness. Under the Texas Workers’ Compensation Act, employers who offer workers’ compensation insurance are legally protected from most personal injury and wrongful death lawsuits. This may prevent employees from receiving the total financial assistance they need to cover medical bills and lost wages. Even so, workers’ compensation is a beneficial and necessary insurance option that offers aid without requiring a lawsuit.

Workers’ compensation offers:

• Limited replacement wages for lost income
• Supplemental income benefits
• Compensation for funeral and burial expenses
• Medical benefits
• Vocational rehabilitation
• Impairment income benefits
• Lifetime income benefits

It’s in your best interest to seek legal representation before filing for workers’ compensation benefits in Texas. At The Daspit Law Firm, we can support you through this complicated legal process from start to finish. Our experienced personal injury lawyers can help you pursue maximum compensation by assisting you in the initial filing process, and by negotiating with insurance companies on your behalf.

Workers’ Compensation Benefits

You are eligible for workers’ compensation so long as you can prove your injury or illness is work-related. Once your condition is discovered, you must notify your employer in writing and file your claim as soon as possible. Our personal injury attorneys can help you compile the necessary records and medical documents to successfully file your claim. The statute of limitations in Texas allows employees only 1 year to file a claim once an injury has been discovered.

Workers’ compensation claims cover the following:

• Neck and back injuries
• Preexisting conditions exacerbated by work
• Work-related mental health conditions
• Occupational illnesses and diseases
• Joint injuries
• Hearing loss
• Vision loss
• Repetitive movement injuries

Workers’ Compensation Limitations

Workers’ compensation insurance offers medical, income, death, and burial benefits. While it only pays up to 70% of your lost wages, it still offers benefits without necessitating a drawn-out lawsuit. The main goal of workers’ compensation is to offer financial assistance that helps an employee return to work as soon as possible. In fact, benefits may be cancelled if an employee refuses to work.

Workers’ compensation does not cover injuries:

• Incurred by an employee’s negligence
• Incurred by an employee’s willful criminal acts
• Incurred by intoxication
• Incurred by self-harm
