In Texas, if your employer carries workers' compensation insurance, this becomes your exclusive remedy for work-related injuries. This means you generally cannot sue your employer for additional damages beyond what workers' compensation provides. However, there are important exceptions.
You may have claims against third parties who contributed to your injury, such as equipment manufacturers or contractors. Experienced personal injury lawyers can help identify these third-party claims and explore all available avenues for compensation. Understanding these limitations and exceptions is crucial for maximizing your recovery after a workplace injury.
