Dallas On The Job Injury Claims

At Kilgore + Kilgore, our Dallas on the job injury claim lawyers handle claims involving serious injuries with financial and other consequences to our injured clients, when the employer does not subscribe to Texas worker's compensation (called a nonsubscriber). We have used the cumulative knowledge gathered in more than six decades of experience to achieve measureable results for many clients. When you want experience, versatility, and dedication, contact us.

Some employers do not carry workers' compensation insurance for their employees. Such employers, called nonsubscribers, can offer a substitute form of insurance for their employees in the event of an injury. However, they remain subject to a personal injury claim by the injured employee.

Recovering Compensation Through a Nonsubscriber on the Job Personal Injury Claim

Nonsubscriber on the job personal injury claims are subject to special rules concerning the liability of an employer. For example, as an injured individual, you must show that your employer was somewhat negligent. Furthermore, a court or arbitrator must ignore all of your conduct as an employee unless you took an obvious risk.

You may be able to recover damages for your injuries, pain and suffering related to those injuries, mental anguish, impairment of function, disfigurement, medical expenses, and lost earnings.

Arbitration and Nonsubscriber Personal Injury Claims

We have extensive experience helping clients in arbitration against their employers. We can level the playing field and fight to ensure that arbitration leads to a fair result. Employers may try to protect themselves from claims by injured employees by insisting upon arbitration of any such claims. Some Texas courts have enforced these arbitration agreements. What does this mean for you? If you signed an arbitration agreement when you started your job, you are likely bound by that agreement.
