Not always — but having an attorney significantly improves your outcome, especially if your injury is serious, your claim was denied, or your employer disputes the circumstances. Texas is unique in that it does not require employers to carry workers' compensation insurance, which means injured workers may need to pursue a personal injury claim instead. Wisconsin has mandatory workers' comp but complex rules around permanent disability. Our attorneys are familiar with the workers' compensation laws in all four states we serve.

In most cases, workers' compensation is the exclusive remedy against your employer, meaning you cannot sue them directly in civil court. However, if a third party — such as an equipment manufacturer, subcontractor, or property owner — was responsible for your injury, you may have a third-party personal injury claim in addition to your workers' compensation claim. Dunk Law Firm evaluates all potential claims for injured workers in Houston TX, Memphis TN, Milwaukee WI, and St. Louis MO. Contact our nearest office for a free consultation.

Texas is the only state that does not require employers to carry workers' compensation insurance. This means many injured workers in Houston Texas may need to pursue a personal injury lawsuit rather than a workers' comp claim. If your employer is a non-subscriber — meaning they opted out of the state workers' comp system — you may have stronger legal rights than in other states. Dunk Law Firm's Houston office at 717 Franklin St. handles workplace injury cases throughout Harris County. Call 713 223 1435 for a free consultation.
