Some people are reluctant to call a lawyer’s office because they equate hiring a lawyer with large retainer fees or other large legal expenses. In a San Antonio work injury lawsuit, this isn’t always the case. While it is true that all lawsuits have a cost, you may be able to defer this expense until you have a settlement. Calling a lawyer for a no-cost consultation is the best way to find out if you can afford a lawsuit.

One phone call to the Texas personal injury attorneys at Carabin Shaw will allow you to set up a free consultation and find out whether you have a viable workers’ compensation or personal injury case.

Getting a no-cost consultation begins with an interview. You should prepare by bringing any paperwork you have regarding your San Antonio TX work accident, so you can tell the lawyer what damages you hope to claim in a lawsuit. The lawyer will then give you his legal opinion about the viability of your case and present some legal options. You may be able to seek a remedy without a trial! Having a legal team streamlines the pathway to compensation.

A no-obligation consultation helps potential clients get a taste of the legal process and what is in store for them should they opt for a lawsuit. The Texas legal system can be complicated, and suing an employer is stressful, but the San Antonio work accident attorneys at Carabin Shaw are compassionate. Read our client reviews to find out how we’ve helped our clients receive compensation for their work injuries. If your employer failed to provide a safe workplace, and you were injured, you deserve compensation.

Workers who suffer injuries on the job must file a workers’ compensation claim instead of a personal injury lawsuit if their employer subscribes to workers’ compensation insurance. The only exception is for family members who lost their loved ones due to the employer’s gross negligence.

The difference between workers’ compensation and suing your employer is big. Benefits awarded in a workers’ compensation case cover mostly monetary losses. Personal lawsuits cover pain and suffering and may offer extra punitive damages for gross negligence. Hiring a skilled work injury lawyer is beneficial in either type of case.

Maximizing your work injury compensation is all about understanding the damages you claim. In a workers’ compensation claim, the benefits involve income, medical, burial, and death benefits. In a personal injury claim, the damages include:

• Economic losses: medical expenses, property repairs (if applicable), lost income, travel expenses
• Noneconomic losses: Pain and suffering, mental anguish, disfigurement, disability, relationship difficulties, loss of life’s enjoyment
• Exemplary damages: Punitive awards for gross negligence

Your workplace injury lawyer in San Antonio TX will help you quantify your damages, so the court can award you an appropriate amount.

Partnering with an experienced Texas attorney at Carabin Shaw is the cornerstone of a successful legal journey. Our skilled legal team can navigate the complexities of your workers' compensation claim or lawsuit, providing you with clarity and confidence.
