We are Alvin's Premier Attorneys for Personal Injury & Workman’s Comp Law
When workplace accidents strike in Alvin’s industrial corridors along Highway 35 or in manufacturing facilities near the Brazoria County Fairgrounds, injured workers face an uphill battle against employers and insurance companies determined to minimize their claims. Tylka Law Firm has proudly represented generations of Alvin workers suffering from construction site falls, chemical exposures, equipment malfunctions, repetitive stress injuries, and other workplace accidents that disrupt lives and threaten financial security. Our dedicated workplace injury attorneys combine decades of experience with deep community roots to deliver exceptional results for injured workers throughout Brazoria County, whether they’re employed in oil and gas operations along FM 517, manufacturing facilities near Alvin Community College, or construction projects around downtown Alvin.
Many injured workers make the costly mistake of handling workers’ compensation claims without legal representation, unaware that insurance companies routinely undervalue workplace injuries and deny legitimate claims. Hiring Tylka Law Firm’s workplace accident attorneys provides crucial advantages: we identify all potential sources of compensation beyond workers’ comp, including third-party negligence claims against equipment manufacturers, subcontractors, or property owners; we accurately calculate the full lifetime cost of serious injuries; we gather compelling evidence before it disappears; we handle complex paperwork and strict deadlines; and we prevent employer retaliation while you focus on recovery. Our thorough approach to workplace injury cases has secured millions in additional compensation that our clients would never have received without skilled legal representation.

When Should You Hire a Alvin Personal Injury & Worker’s Comp Lawyer?
While not every injury requires a lawyer, there are circumstances where having an attorney on your side can make all the difference. You should consider hiring a personal injury attorney if:
- You’ve sustained significant injuries that require medical attention or long-term care.
- The accident involves injury parties or complex liability issues.
- The insurance company or worker’s compensation is offering a low settlement or denying your claim.
- There is a dispute about fault, and you need legal representation to protect your interests.
A skilled attorney can help you navigate the complex legal and insurance processes, negotiate with at-fault parties, and represent you in court if necessary.
Q: How does a workers' compensation lawsuit differ from a personal injury lawsuit?
- Workers’ compensation provides benefits regardless of fault but limits compensation to medical expenses and partial wage replacement
- Personal injury lawsuits require proving negligence but offer compensation for all damages including pain and suffering, full lost wages, and punitive damages
- Workers’ compensation prevents suing your employer but allows claims against third parties responsible for workplace accidents
- Tylka Law Firm evaluates each case to pursue both workers’ compensation and viable third-party claims when possible
Q: How long do I have to file a workplace injury claim in Texas?
- Workers’ compensation claims must typically be reported within 30 days of injury
- Written claims must be filed within one year of the injury date
- Personal injury lawsuits against third parties generally have a two-year statute of limitations
- Failure to meet these deadlines typically results in losing your right to compensation
- Consulting Tylka Law Firm immediately after injury ensures all deadlines are met
Q: What compensation can I recover from a workplace injury in Alvin?
- Medical expenses (past and future) related to your workplace injury
- Lost wages and diminished future earning capacity
- Rehabilitation costs including physical therapy and vocational retraining
- Pain and suffering damages (in third-party claims)
- Permanent disability and disfigurement compensation
- Death benefits for families who have lost loved ones in workplace accidents
Q: Why do I need an attorney for my workers' compensation or personal injury claim?
- Studies show represented workers receive significantly higher settlements
- Insurance companies frequently deny valid claims or terminate benefits prematurely
- Complex paperwork and procedural requirements create pitfalls for unrepresented workers
- Tylka Law Firm identifies additional compensation sources beyond workers’ compensation
- We prevent employer retaliation and ensure your rights are protected throughout the process
Q: How does Tylka Law Firm get paid for workplace injury cases?
- Free initial consultations with no upfront costs
- Contingency fee structure means you pay nothing unless we recover compensation
- Fees for workers’ compensation cases are regulated and approved by the state

Workplace accidents near Alvin landmarks like National Oak Park or along the Highway 6 corridor often involve complex liability questions that extend beyond standard workers’ compensation claims. Tylka Law Firm’s comprehensive case evaluation identifies when negligent third parties share responsibility for workplace injuries, allowing us to pursue substantial personal injury settlements while simultaneously maximizing workers’ compensation benefits. This dual-track approach—rarely utilized by less experienced firms—has proven particularly effective for Alvin workers suffering catastrophic injuries like traumatic brain damage, spinal cord trauma, severe burns, amputations, or wrongful death, where workers’ compensation benefits alone prove woefully inadequate for lifetime care needs and family support.
What truly distinguishes Tylka Law Firm’s workplace injury practice is our intimate knowledge of Alvin’s industrial landscape, from the specific hazards faced by petrochemical workers along Mustang Road to the unique risks confronting manufacturing employees near Victory Lane. This local expertise, combined with our extensive network of workplace safety experts, medical specialists, and vocational rehabilitation professionals, allows us to build compelling cases that consistently outperform industry averages for both workers’ compensation settlements and third-party negligence claims. When employers or insurance companies attempt to dispute liability or minimize injuries sustained at Alvin workplaces, our attorneys leverage decades of courtroom experience to aggressively advocate for the maximum compensation our clients deserve.
