Texas and New Mexico Work Injuries

Building a Strong Understanding of Your Rights

​

If you’ve been injured on the job, it’s important to understand your legal rights and options. In some cases, your employer may dispute the cause of the injury or delay benefits. Speaking with a qualified attorney may help you explore your next steps.

​

Here is a helpful checklist if you’ve experienced a workplace injury:

• Report the injury to your employer in writing as soon as possible. Many companies have a 24-hour reporting window.

• Request a copy of your employer’s workers’ compensation policy.

• If workers’ compensation is not available, check for other benefits or insurance options available through your employer.

 

This checklist is intended for general informational purposes only and is not legal advice. For case-specific questions, we recommend speaking directly with an attorney.
