Back Injuries in the Workplace - Legal Remedies for San Antonio Work Accident Victims

Among possible accidents, back injuries are the most common type of San Antonio work injury that an employee can experience, according to the Texas Department of Insurance.. Because of how important the spine is to the human anatomy, any wrong combination of movement and weight can cause serious damage.

These injuries may be common, but understanding when you have the right to pursue legal remedies can be complex without the support of the San Antonio TX personal injury attorneys at Carabin Shaw. There are many ways that you can come to injure your back at work, and we address a number of them here. However, you can learn more by calling our expert attorneys and scheduling a free case review with our staff.

While back injuries alone do not warrant a personal injury claim, they do in cases where negligence from another party contributed to that injury.

From manufacturing jobs to hospital work, countless positions require employees to lift heavy loads without machinery.

In cases where an employer fails to provide you with sufficient breaks for recovery, and demands that you lift an unsafe amount of weight, you may be able to take legal action depending on the extent of the injury, and the extent of their negligence.

Worker’s compensation law can make the “how” such claims foggy, but our team will be able to walk you through any and all legal options you have.

Even when you do everything right to avoid injury, such as following steps from the National Safety Council, many accidents are fully out of your control. Collisions when driving to work are one such example. In these cases, while it is a work injury, a work accident attorney in San Antonio can help you pursue a third-party injury claim against the at-fault driver.

In some cases, you can pursue such third-party claims alongside workers’ compensation. Call our attorneys, available toll-free and 24/7 at 800-862-1260, for more information about third-party claims.

Leisure and hospitality jobs, government positions, and business services employ over 498,000 San Antonio residents, according to the Greater San Antonio Regional Economic Partnership. Repetitive motion injuries stand as one of the most common injuries such workers can experience and, with the support of a workplace back injury lawyer in San Antonio TX, seek compensation for.

Sitting in a chair for hours on end that does not provide enough back support, twisting the spine over and again to redecorate or organize a space without being given breaks or without necessary tools, and using machinery that vibrates for extended periods can all result in these injuries.

In some cases, these injuries may be the result of faulty or poorly maintained tools. If that is the case, a lawyer can help you to hold a manufacturer responsible for your injuries, for example.

This list is by no means extensive, and any number of other injuries can cause a San Antonio workplace back injury. By visiting our client reviews, you can see examples of the quality support that we will provide to you throughout your injury claim, regardless of how the injury occurred.

Any back injury in a San Antonio workplace can bring incredible discomfort and physical trauma to an injury victim. And, with it, alarming medical bills and loss of work hours. Because of that, we offer our services on a contingency-fee basis. This ensures that the costs of mending your injury, and your inability to work with it, do not block your access to professional legal support.

Call our English and Spanish-speaking staff today to schedule your free case review and learn what we can do to win you the compensation you are owed as a back injury victim.
