Workers Compensation Attorneys

in Houston, Texas

In most cases, you will immediately realize when you are injured on the job. On the other hand, a job injury may not suddenly be apparent. They frequently occur over a period of time (i.e., days, months, or years). So if one or more of your joints hurt, it may be from work. If your back hurts and you regularly strain it while working, you may be entitled to workers compensation benefits. If your company does not subscribe to workers compensation, our Houston, Texas attorneys may be able to pursue a claim against the company as a "non-subscriber." In fact, many of KH's cases against employers are brought as non-subscriber claims.

Workers compensation benefits entitles you to receive benefits for the following as a result of on the job injury: Medical Treatment, Temporary Disability, Permanent Disability, Vocational Rehabilitation Benefits, and Death Benefits at no cost to you. You are entitled to be reimbursed for costs of mileage going to and from your medical appointments as well.

Individuals who suffer a disabling injury need to be represented in order to receive the maximum benefits. The insurance carriers know how to manipulate the workers compensation system to their advantage in order to limit benefits. An injured worker who attempts to handle a claim of serious injury on his own will not have the knowledge to work with the system, and will invariably receive less benefits then a represented individual.
