Frequently Asked Questions

What should I do after a workplace injury in Texas?

First, seek medical attention immediately — even if you think the injury is minor. Report the injury to your employer in writing as soon as possible. Document everything: take photos of the accident scene, your injuries, and any unsafe conditions. Get contact information from witnesses. Do not sign any documents from your employer or their insurance company without consulting an attorney first. Call McFarlane Law at (512) 222-4900 for a free consultation.

What if my employer doesn’t carry workers’ compensation?

Many Texas employers — especially in oilfield, construction, and industrial sectors — are “non-subscribers” who have opted out of workers’ compensation. This actually gives you more legal options. You can sue your employer directly for negligence and recover full damages including pain and suffering, which workers’ comp doesn’t cover. Non-subscriber cases often result in significantly larger recoveries.

How much is my workplace injury case worth?

Every case is unique. Workplace injury cases can involve substantial compensation depending on the severity of injuries, medical expenses, lost wages, reduced earning capacity, and pain and suffering. In high-paying oilfield and construction jobs, lost wage claims alone can be significant. We evaluate every aspect of your damages to fight for maximum compensation. Contact us for a free case evaluation.

Can I be fired for reporting a workplace injury?

No. Texas law protects workers from retaliation for reporting injuries, filing workers’ compensation claims, or refusing to work in unsafe conditions. If your employer fires, demotes, or punishes you for reporting an injury, that is illegal retaliation. McFarlane Law can pursue wrongful termination claims in addition to your injury case.

How long do I have to file a workplace injury claim in Texas?

For workers’ compensation claims, you must report your injury within 30 days. For non-subscriber lawsuits, the statute of limitations is generally two years from the date of injury. However, critical evidence can disappear quickly — especially on active construction sites and oilfields. It’s essential to contact an attorney as soon as possible to preserve evidence and protect your rights.
