Workplace injuries can happen to anyone, but certain jobs - like those in construction, transportation, and oil and gas - carry a higher risk.
In Texas, employers are not required to carry worker’s compensation insurance, which means a lot of companies choose to skip this protection. Without it, injured employees are left with one option: filing a third-party claim to recover compensation.
If you’ve been injured at work, the Biggs & Greenslade personal injury attorneys in Henderson, TX, are ready to fight for your rights. We help injured employees get the compensation they need to make a full recovery and return to the workforce. And, we’re ready to help you, too.

In Texas, if you’re injured on the job, you have two main options: file for worker’s compensation (if your employer offers it) or pursue a third-party personal injury claim.

Oilfield jobs are some of the most dangerous out there. Heavy machinery, powerful equipment, and hazardous chemicals are all part of the job, and these conditions mean that accidents are more likely - and injuries can be severe.
In Texas, injured employees have two years from the date of injury to file a claim, but the sooner you consult a lawyer, the better your chances are of getting compensated for your loss.
Worker’s compensation is an insurance coverage that some Texas businesses elect to hold. If your employer has this coverage, you’re able to file for your injury and get compensation for your injuries.
However, Texas doesn’t require employers to hold worker’s compensation coverage. This means your only option may be filing a personal injury lawsuit.
If you elect to file a worker’s compensation claim, you’re unable to legally file a personal injury claim.
You have to choose one or the other, and the legal team at Biggs & Greenslade will help you explore your options and figure out what the best option is.
