Work Accident Lawyer

Work Accident Lawyer in Houston, TX

Workplace injuries can happen suddenly and without warning. Whether you slipped on a job site, were struck by equipment, or suffered long-term exposure to a hazardous condition, the results can leave you with pain, medical bills, and uncertainty about your future. At HURTINTEXAS.COM, we help injured workers throughout Houston understand their legal rights and pursue the compensation they’re entitled to under Texas law.

Attorney Joe Guerrero has successfully represented workers from a wide range of industries, including construction, manufacturing, warehousing, transportation, and oil and gas. If your injury was caused by employer negligence or a third party, we’ll take immediate action to protect your interests.

Not Every Work Injury Is Covered by Workers’ Comp

Texas is the only state that doesn’t require most private employers to carry workers’ compensation insurance. That means your case may fall outside the traditional workers’ comp system, and you could have the right to file a personal injury claim directly against your employer or another responsible party.

Companies that opted out of workers’ comp coverage

Negligent third parties (subcontractors, vendors, drivers)

Faulty equipment or defective machinery

Unsafe job sites or failure to follow safety protocols

If another person or company caused your injury—even if you were on the job—you may be eligible to seek compensation through a civil lawsuit.
