How Can a Workplace Injury Lawyer Help You Recover Compensation?

In Beaumont, workplace injury claims often involve strict deadlines, complex legal requirements, and resistance from employers or insurance carriers. In response to these challenges, David W. Starnes Attorney At Law provides injured workers with a focused legal strategy aimed at asserting their legal rights and pursuing all compensation available under the law.

Here’s how our team supports your case:

• Build a detailed case file: We collect medical records, safety reports, OSHA violations, and witness statements to connect your injury to workplace conditions or employer negligence.
• Manage all legal communication: We handle negotiations with insurers and represent you in proceedings before the Texas Department of Insurance, Division of Workers’ Compensation (TDI-DWC).
• Calculate and pursue full damages: Our attorneys account for past and future medical care, lost income, reduced earning capacity, and permanent disability, if applicable.
• Take action beyond workers’ compensation: When appropriate, we pursue third-party claims or lawsuits for gross negligence to seek additional compensation.
• Protect your rights throughout: From challenging denied claims to addressing employer retaliation, we ensure your case is handled properly under Texas law.

Which Types of On-The-Job Injuries Are Eligible for Legal Representation?

David W. Starnes Attorney At Law offers legal representation for a broad spectrum of workplace injuries arising under applicable state and federal law, including:

• Traumatic physical injuries
• Repetitive motion injuries
• Occupational illnesses
• Burn and electrocution injuries
• Work-related fatalities

We assess each case based on the type of injury, how the incident occurred, and the applicable laws governing workplace safety and employer liability.

Is There a Statute of Limitations on Filing a Claim for Workplace Injuries?

In Beaumont, the statute of limitations for filing an on-the-job injury claim is one year from the date the injury occurred or from the date the worker reasonably should have known the injury or illness was work-related. This deadline is in addition to the separate 30-day requirement to notify your employer of the incident. For occupational diseases, such as those resulting from long-term exposure, the one-year period begins when the condition is diagnosed and medically connected to the workplace.

For claims outside the workers’ compensation system, such as third-party liability or employer gross negligence in non-subscriber cases, a two-year statute of limitations typically applies under Texas personal injury law. Failure to meet these deadlines may result in the complete loss of legal rights, regardless of the severity of the injury or the employer’s level of fault.

What To Do After a Workplace Injury

After a workplace injury, your first actions are governed by specific procedures under Texas law. Following the proper steps helps ensure your report is recognized, your treatment is documented, and your claim is processed without delays.

Here’s what you should do:

• Report the injury: Notify your supervisor or safety officer immediately and make sure the incident is documented in writing.
• Get medical attention: Use an approved provider if required, and confirm the injury is noted as work-related in your records.
• Start the claims process: Begin filing promptly to meet all required deadlines under Texas law.
• Preserve documentation: Keep copies of all reports, medical records, and communications related to the incident.
• Speak with our legal team: Legal guidance from the start helps you follow proper procedures and reduce the risk of procedural violations or administrative setbacks.
