Have you been injured while on the job?
An “on-the-job injury” in Texas can include many different types of
situations. It most often refers to a person who is injured while working at his or her job, or as lawyers like to say “in the course and scope of the job.” Some of the injuries our attorneys have
represented for employees include a furniture mover who was injured while lifting a heavy piece of
furniture, a meat processing plant employee whose hand was injured in a meat grinder,
a grocery store stock clerk who was crushed by a product that fell off of a
shelf, a nurse who inured her knee while helping a patient and so on. As you can see, on-the-job injuries are not limited to construction workers alone.

These types of cases can range from an injury as a small as a muscle pull all the way to
an accident that results in death. For example, a pizza delivery driver for Pizza Hut can get
hurt in a car accident and potentially have a claim against the other
driver that caused the accident, but since this is a “work related injury” they may also have a claim against Pizza Hut if the employer played a
role in the accident.
Some employers have an “occupational injury” policy to help cover the
medical bills and associated expenses if an employee should become injured on the job. This type of coverage will often
cover surgical expenses so long as the surgery is related to the on-the-job injury. It may also cover some portion of the employee's lost wages. What most insurance adjusters don’t tell you, is that you are entitled to more than just free health care and some lost wages.
Grossman Law Office on-the-job injury attorneys can help you recover all of the damages that are
available to you, especially the damages that the adjuster doesn’t
mention. Recovery of these monies is often critical to help the injured
employee continue to support his or her family. One of the benefits of
hiring Grossman Law Offices is that you can rest easy knowing that we will
recover all of the monies that the insurance company is required to pay
by law, but may fail to disclose.
