A workplace injury can turn your life upside down overnight. Suddenly, you are facing medical appointments, missed paychecks, and uncertainty about your future. Many injured workers assume workers’ compensation is their only option, but in many cases, additional legal claims may be available.
Klitsas Law Firm helps injured workers and their families pursue the full compensation they deserve. We investigate workplace accidents, identify responsible parties, and take legal action when negligence plays a role in a serious injury.
Serious work injuries occur across many industries in the Houston area. From construction sites and warehouses to offices and industrial facilities, unsafe conditions can put workers at risk every day.
When safety procedures are ignored or proper training is not provided, the consequences can be life-changing. Our firm works to uncover what went wrong and hold negligent parties accountable.
Texas is the only state that does not require privately owned companies to carry workers’ compensation insurance for their employees. When a company chooses not to carry Texas workers’ compensation coverage, it is classified as a Non-Subscriber.
Many Non-Subscriber employers offer an alternative injury benefit plan, often governed by ERISA. These plans are not the same as Texas workers’ compensation and do not provide the same protections or rights to injured employees.
Under Texas law, employers who subscribe to Texas workers’ compensation receive certain legal protections, including immunity from most employee lawsuits. Non-Subscriber employers do not receive this immunity, meaning they may be held legally responsible for workplace injuries caused by their negligence.
If you are unsure whether your employer is a Non-Subscriber, we have the knowledge and experience to determine your employer’s status and explain your rights—so you understand how your workplace injury should be handled and what legal options may be available to you.
Workplace accidents often happen because of preventable hazards and unsafe practices, including:
These incidents are rarely “just accidents.” They often result from negligence that could have been prevented.
A workplace injury does not just affect your health — it affects your ability to earn a living and support your family. Many injured workers face long recovery periods, permanent limitations, or the inability to return to their previous job.
We regularly represent clients suffering from back and spinal injuries, traumatic brain injuries, severe fractures, burns, and long-term occupational illnesses. These injuries can require ongoing medical care and may impact your future earning capacity.
Many workers are surprised to learn that workers’ compensation may not fully cover the losses caused by a serious injury. In some cases, a third-party claim may be possible when someone other than your employer contributed to the accident.
This can include contractors, equipment manufacturers, property owners, or other companies working on the same job site. Pursuing these claims can make a significant difference in the total compensation available to you.
When negligence is involved, injured workers may be able to recover compensation for:
Our goal is to ensure the full impact of your injury is recognized and addressed.
After a workplace injury, important evidence can disappear quickly. Reporting the injury, seeking medical care, and speaking with an attorney early can help protect your rights and strengthen your case.
We believe injured workers deserve strong legal representation without financial risk. You pay nothing upfront, and we only get paid if we recover compensation for you.
If you have been injured on the job, you do not have to face the legal process alone. Klitsas Law Firm is ready to stand beside you and fight for your recovery.
