Understand Your Rights After A Work Vehicle Accident In Texas

For countless workers, the road is not just a commute – it is their office. When accidents happen, the impact extends beyond physical injuries. It also threatens people’s livelihoods and financial stability.

At Manuel Gonzales, PC, I have handled numerous work-related vehicle accident cases in Houston. Every day, professionals across Texas face unique risks on the road. These include taxi and rideshare drivers, delivery personnel, long-haul truckers and even traveling service technicians. If you are a worker injured in a work-related vehicle accident, you need a skilled legal ally to help you secure the compensation you deserve.

Your First Safety Net: Workers’ Compensation

Workers’ compensation safeguards your finances after a work injury. It covers necessary medical treatment, including hospital stays, doctor visits, medications and physical therapy. The benefit also provides a portion of your lost wages and may include disability benefits for temporary or permanent inability to work.

However, while workers’ comp provides essential support, it typically does not cover all your lost wages or compensate you for pain and suffering. That is why it is crucial to explore all your options to ensure you receive the full and fair compensation you deserve.

Beyond Workers’ Compensation: Third-Party Liability Claims

Third-party liability claims target nonemployer parties responsible for your work accident. This could be another driver, a vehicle manufacturer or a government entity responsible for road maintenance. Unlike workers’ comp, these claims can cover all lost wages, future earning capacity, and pain and suffering. They may also address long-term medical care, rehabilitation costs and other expenses not fully covered by workers’ comp.

As an injured worker, you can pursue both workers’ compensation and third-party claims simultaneously. This approach is crucial for serious accidents where costs exceed workers’ comp coverage. As your attorney, my role is to guide you through both processes, ensuring we explore every avenue for compensation.
