Texas Work Related Injury Lawyers

Helping You File Claims for Injuries Caused by Third Parties

Under Texas law, injuries sustained at work and caused by the negligence or carelessness of your employer are exclusively covered by the Texas workers’ compensation laws. However, if you are hurt during the course and scope of employment by the wrongful acts of third parties, from vendors or suppliers to subcontractors or drivers, you can seek damages outside of the workers’ compensation system. You want an experienced Texas Workers Compensation Attorney to help you pursue damages for all your losses.

At Bailey & Galyen, we bring more than 50 years of combined experience to people who have been hurt on the job, whether by the acts of their employers or co-employees, or by the conduct of third parties. We take a comprehensive approach, listening carefully to the details of your case so that we can identify all potential claims as well as your options and likelihood of success. In our years of practice, we have successfully represented hundreds of injured workers, pursuing claims against all responsible parties.

The Texas Workers Compensation Lawyers at Bailey & Galyen offer quality legal services and representation to clients throughout Texas, including Arlington, Bedford, Dallas, Fort Worth, Grand Prairie, Irving, Plano, Weatherford, Mesquite, Houston, Galleria, West Chase, Clear Lake, Galveston as well as our Rio Grande Valley offices in Brownsville, Harlingen and McAllen, TX.

Our Representation of Workers with Third Party Claims

If you have been injured on the job because of the wrongful actions of your employer, your only recourse for damages to cover lost wages, medical expenses or the costs of job retraining is through a workers’ compensation claim. With a workers’ compensation claim, you receive benefits based on the type of injury and whether its effect will be temporary or permanent.

If, however, your injury was caused in whole or in part by the negligent or careless acts of someone other than your employer or a co-employee, you can seek compensation in a personal injury claim filed in court, often in addition to benefits available through workers’ compensation.

At Bailey & Galyen, we help injured workers get full and fair compensation for losses caused by the wrongful acts of third parties. We handle claims involving injuries sustained as a result of:

The negligent design, manufacture, construction or distribution of dangerous or defective products, including tools, machinery and equipment
Negligence in the operation of a motor vehicle by a third party, causing injury to you while performing duties within the scope of your employment
Negligence in the hiring, training or supervision of employees of other companies working on your job site

When we file a third-party claim, we will seek compensation for all your losses, from wages or income to medical expenses and pain and suffering. We also handle wrongful death claims resulting from workplace accidents caused by third parties.
