When Should You Hire a Texas Personal Injury & Workman’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.
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: What compensation can I recover from a workplace injury in Texas?
- Medical expenses (past and future) related to your workplace injury

- Permanent disability and disfigurement compensation

Q: What should I do immediately after an accident in Texas?

- Workers’ compensation claims must typically be reported within 30 days of injury

- 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: Why do I need an attorney for my workers' compensation or personal injury claim?
- Studies show represented workers receive significantly higher settlements
