On the job Personal Injury Claims

It’s a good question the answer to that is maybe. Under Texas law, which incorporates the Texas Workers Compensation Act if you were hurt as a result of negligence created by your employer or a co-employee, the only way that you can file a personal injury claim is if the injury resulted in death and there was gross negligence attributable to the employer or the co-employee. But we have to look at these cases very carefully because if there was somebody else that caused the injury, an employee of another company, for example, or a truck driver driving down the road while the injured employee was driving a company car in the course and scope of their employment then these third parties would offer an avenue where you might be able to successfully pursue a claim against them.
