Texas Employer Liability Claims

Helping you get what you deserve

The legal system protecting the rights of workers injured on the job in Texas is complex, difficult, and constantly changing.  In the event that you are injured at work and your employer carries workers' compensation insurance, you may need a lawyer to get the full amount of benefits to which you are entitled.

Let our experience work for you

At the San Antonio law offices of Matthews & Associates, we understand the terrible emotional toll that a serious injury can have on workers and their families.  They risk losing their jobs, their homes, and their livelihood.  Experienced workers' compensation lawyer Kelly Matthews understands the Texas Workers' Compensation Act and knows how to navigate the complex Texas legal system for the benefit of our clients.

Did you know?

• Texas is the only state that does not require employers to carry workers' compensation insurance.
• If injured on the job, employees of nonsubscribers to the Texas workers' comp system may have a claim and can possibly sue for employer liability, negligence, and misconduct.
• It is possible for injured workers to collect large damage awards if they can prove in court that their employer was negligent.
• Some employers provide a type of alternative insurance—sometimes referred to as fake workers' comp—that mimics true workers' compensation.  These plans generally offer workers very limited benefits and may have different standards for returning to work after an injury.
• Your best chance of collecting the benefits you deserve is by consulting an experienced Texas workers' compensation attorney with a record of holding employers responsible for their workers' injuries.

We help Texas workers with employer liability and nonsubscriber claims in a variety of occupations, including teachers, school district employees, construction workers, state road workers, other state employees, bakery and restaurant workers, hotel and office workers, meat packers, and mechanics, among others.
