Baytown Work Injury Lawyer in Houston: Third Party Liability Claims

Did you sustain work injury that was caused all or in part by actions of an independent contractor working for your employer? If so, your first call should be to a Houston or Baytown, work injury lawyer who is well-versed in third party liability claims for work related injuries. Marc Whitehead & Associates is one of the most knowledgeable work injury law firms in the area, specializing in third party liability claims.

When we think of compensation for sustaining a work injury, we usually think of workers' compensation. However, just because you were injured at work doesn't mean you have to settle for workers' compensation. Under Texas law, if you are injured at work as the result of the negligence of a third party other than your employer, you may have a claim outside of workers' compensation against that third party. For example, if your employer uses an independent contractor to perform some tasks for the company, and the independent contractor’s negligence causes your injury, you may bring a third party liability claim against the independent contractor. Your damages may include actual and compensatory damages which will far exceed any compensation you receiver under workers’ compensation.

A skilled Baytown work injury lawyer at Marc Whitehead & Associates will let you know your rights and help you get the money you need after an injury. If you were injured on the job or while performing an occupational duty, you may be entitled to collect medical care compensation, disability income payments, future earning potential, and additional damages for pain and suffering.

If you or someone you love was injured at work because of the negligence of someone other your employer, please email or call an experienced Baytown work injury lawyer in Houston at Marc Whitehead & Associates. We will review your claim and help you get the compensation you deserve.
