No Fee Unless You Win
Many Texas workers are at risk of on-the-job injuries that can lead to costly medical expenses, lost wages and other serious consequences such as temporary or permanent disability. Injured employees should check to see whether they qualify for workers’ compensation benefits or nonsubscriber benefit plans that can be used to reimburse medical expenses and other related losses.
