Whether you’re a laborer, longshore worker, healthcare employee, or contractor, we know the systems—and how to navigate them.
Workers’ compensation insurance companies don’t always play fair. If your claim was denied or undervalued:
What to Do If Your Claim Is Denied
Don’t Panic – Denials can often be appealed.
Review the Notice – We’ll help you understand why the claim was denied.
Get Legal Help – The appeals process is complex. We’ll handle it for you.
Act Fast – There are deadlines that could affect your case.
Your Rights Matter—Let’s Protect Them
Many workers don’t realize the full benefits they’re entitled to. Others are pressured to return to work too early or settle for less. We make sure your rights are upheld, your injuries are recognized, and your compensation is fair.
We also represent injured workers whose employers claim they’re independent contractors, or who work in specialized sectors like maritime or offshore jobs.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Can I be fired for filing a workers’ comp claim?
Texas law gives you two years from the date of the accident to file a claim. However, acting fast is crucial—evidence disappears, and insurance companies move quickly to weaken your case.

What if the accident was my fault?
We’ll review all available options—including uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage—to pursue the compensation you need.

In most cases, you must report your injury within 30 days and file within one year.
