Dallas Work Accident Attorneys

Just because your employer opts out of the workers compensation program in Texas, does not mean that you cannot pursue compensation if you are injured at work.  Employers that do not participate in workers compensation are known as non-subscribers and according to Texas law they lose some rights.  Generally, a non-subscriber cannot argue that your own negligence or the negligence of one of your co-workers contributed to your work accident.  Your employer may also not be able to argue that you assumed the risk of injury or death.

The good news for you, as an injured worker, is that you could be awarded an even higher settlement or jury verdict if your employer is a non-subscriber.  Pain and suffering damages and punitive damages are available in these types of occupational accident cases.

At the law firm of Reed & Riordan, PLLC, an experienced Dallas work injury attorney will be able to explain your rights following an on-the-job accident.  Your employer can be held liable for your injuries.   Speak with one of our Dallas injury attorneys today at 214.570.9555 for your free legal consultation.  We know that you have a lot of questions following your work-related injury and we will provide you with the answers you are looking for.
