Sugar Land Workplace Injury Lawyer

Severe work injuries can mean much more than time away from work. Although workers’ compensation pays for most medical bills and lost wages, it does not cover all of the losses a severe work injury can cause. If your work injury resulted from a third-party who is not your employer, call our Sugar Land personal injury attorneys Ramsey Law Group to discuss filing a workplace injury claim.

Injured workers may be eligible for both a workers’ compensation claim and a third-party personal injury claim. Our Sugar Land workplace injury attorneys will review your injury claim at no cost to you and advise you of your legal options.

• Broken bones;
• Skin conditions;
• Respiratory diseases;
• Amputations;
• Spinal cord injury, including paralysis;
• Vision or hearing loss;
• Burns; and

Workers may qualify to file a third-party claim for their injuries, in addition to a workers’ compensation claim, if the injuries were caused by a third-party. Common third-parties include:

• Subcontractors;
• Contractors;
• Equipment manufacturers;
• Engineers;
• Coworkers;
• Architects;
• Manufacturer of industrial chemicals;
• Construction site owners;
• Property owner or manager; or
