Two Claims Comp Overlooks

When You Need a Workplace Injury Lawyer, Not a Comp Claim

If you were hurt on the job, your case might not be a workers' comp case at all, and that can be good news for you. Patterson Legal handles the two situations comp does not.

Third-Party Claims

When someone other than your employer, a contractor, a property owner, or an equipment maker, caused your injury on the job.

Non-Subscriber Claims

In Texas, employers can opt out of workers' comp. If yours did and its negligence hurt you, you may be able to sue directly.

Not Workers' Comp

These are negligence cases that can recover full damages, including pain and suffering, which comp does not pay.

A workplace injury lawyer can tell you quickly which one fits your situation, often in a single call.

How is this different from workers' compensation?

Workers' comp is a no-fault system with limited benefits. A third-party or non-subscriber claim is a negligence case that can recover full damages, including pain and suffering. Patterson Legal handles the latter, not comp.

How do I know if my employer is a non-subscriber?

In Texas, employers can opt out of workers' comp. If yours did and its negligence caused your injury, you may be able to sue. Phillip can confirm quickly.

Can I be fired for pursuing a claim?

Retaliation concerns are real and situation-specific. Phillip can talk through your protections during the consultation.

What does a workplace injury lawyer cost?

Nothing upfront. The consultation is free and the case runs on contingency, so there is no fee unless Phillip wins or settles.
