What to Do After a Work Accident
After a work accident, you may be unsure of what to do next. However, there are several steps you can take to protect your rights and increase your chances of recovering the compensation you are owed.
After a work accident, you should:
- Report the accident to your employer: You should report the accident to your employer as soon as possible. In Texas, you have 30 days to report the accident, but you should do so as soon as you can. If you wait too long, your employer may claim that your injuries were not caused by the accident.
- Seek medical attention: You should see a doctor as soon as possible after the accident, even if you do not think you were seriously injured. Some injuries may not be immediately apparent, and seeing a doctor can help you get the treatment you need and create a record of your injuries.
- Document the accident: You should write down everything you can remember about the accident, including the date, time, and location, as well as what you were doing when the accident occurred. You should also take pictures of the accident scene and your injuries.
- Keep track of your expenses: You should keep track of all your expenses related to the accident, including your medical bills, lost wages, and any other costs you incur as a result of your injuries.
- Do not give a recorded statement: You should not give a recorded statement to your employer’s insurance company without first speaking to an attorney. The insurance company may try to use your statement against you to deny your claim.
- Do not accept a settlement offer: You should not accept a settlement offer from the insurance company without first speaking to an attorney. The insurance company may try to get you to accept a lowball offer that does not fully compensate you for your losses.
After a work accident, you should also consider speaking to an attorney. An attorney can help you understand your rights and options and guide you through the process of seeking the benefits you are owed.

"You are truly a lifesaver!"Trey is truly an exceptional attorney! After our accident, we felt completely hopeless. The driver at fault lied about their insurance, providing us with a policy that wasn’t even valid at the time of the accident. To make matters worse, their insurance denied our claim, leaving us with no answers and no justice. But Trey went above and beyond to turn things around for us! He immediately conducted a thorough investigation, uncovering that the driver got the insurance after the accident and that the insurance agency was actually owned by the family of the driver at fault. Trey’s dedication and attention to detail were incredible. Trey built a strong case and filed a lawsuit. He not only held the driver accountable but also secured compensation for the damages to our vehicle and medical bills. If it weren’t for Trey’s persistence, we might have given up when the insurance denial came through. But because of him, we found hope and justice when we thought it was out of reach! Thank you, Trey, for everything you’ve done for us. You are truly a lifesaver!- Alexa
