We also let consumers know about legal news, including verdicts and settlements and other interesting legal information.

Frequently Asked Questions

 


Q: What role does workers compensation play in my on the job injury?

A:

Many employers in Texas carry worker’s compensation insurance, which means, in most cases, that you can’t file a lawsuit against your employer to recover damages for your work-related injuries - instead, you can only claim workers compensation benefits. 

However, in many work injury cases the injured worker has a claim against someone other than their employer, bringing rise to a potential "third party" case.  V&B lawyers have successfully handled literally hundreds of third party work injury cases.  For example, recently we resolved a case for a lead man who hurt his back in a crane accident.  Even though his employer had workers compensation insurance, V&B lawyers built a case against the crane operator's employer.

Some employers in Texas do not carry workers compensation insurance.  These companies are called "non-subscribers," and they can be sued by their employees.  If held responsible, these companies are required to pay for your injuries.  These are called "non-subscriber" cases.  We have handled many non-subscriber cases, like the one we handled for a young worker who was hurt on the job while working with industrial printing equipment that we settled for $985,000.
