Should You Hire a Work Place Injury Lawyer?
Workplace accidents can cause a variety of injuries. Some don’t require a lengthy recovery period, and you can return to work quickly. However, in extreme circumstances, you may not be able to return to work for a long time, or ever, depending on the severity of your injuries. You may not be able to go back to your old job.
An experienced workplace lawyer can help determine if you need to pursue a lawsuit or claim workers’ compensation benefits. It’s critical to talk to an attorney as quickly as possible, especially if you’re not sure if your employer provides workers’ compensation benefits. Texas has a two-year statute of limitations for personal injury claims. You don’t want to lose your chance at much-needed compensation because you took too long to act.

Calculating Your Damages
If you’ve been injured on the job, you could face expensive medical costs while you can’t work. If someone’s negligent actions injured you and kept you off work, they can be held accountable for your damages. A major part of every personal injury claim is knowing how much your claim is worth. You need an accurate total to ensure the best chance of winning a settlement.
Under Texas personal injury law, you can recover your economic and non-economic damages caused in a workplace accident. Your economic losses are your out-of-pocket expenses, the losses you experienced directly because of the accident. That includes medical bills, lost wages, or property damage.
Your non-economic damages are conceptual in nature. These are losses you’ve experienced because of your injuries. They can be difficult to calculate things like the mental anguish you suffered from your injuries, your diminished quality of life, or your reduced earning capacity.
Your lawsuit may be able to get you compensation for other losses, like your:
- Past and future medical expenses
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress
- Scarring and disfigurement
- Physical limitations
If we take your case to trial, we want to be able to show the jury how these injuries have impacted you and your family’s daily lives and future. Proving damages also may require hiring a medical, economic, vocational, or other experts who can testify as to your inability to work, future medical expenses, and lost income.

Settlement Negotiations
After you’ve filed your third-party lawsuit, the liable party will have time to respond. It’s rare that they’d accept responsibility and pay you what you’re owed after a workplace accident. They’ll probably dispute the claim, and negotiations will begin.
Both sides will be able to examine available evidence during the discovery phase. We’ll use this to establish the at-fault party’s weaknesses and develop a strategy to pursue maximum compensation.
We’ll be able to sit down with the insurance company to discuss settlement amounts. They may offer lowball settlements or attempt to put blame on your shoulders for your injuries. We’ll stand firm: our evidence will show they owe you for your damages.
If the negotiations can result in an agreed-upon settlement, we’ll accept it and move on. If the insurer does not agree with a settlement amount, our next step is to go to trial. Kemmy Law Firm has experience handling workplace accident trials. We’ve helped clients recover millions in verdicts and settlements.
We Have a Successful Record For Workplace Injury Trials
Many work-related injury cases are settled before they go to court. That takes extensive preparation and tenacity. We’ll approach your claim as if we’re going to trial: we’ll be prepared for that eventuality, but we’ll pursue a settlement before a trial.
We never skimp on an investigation or take the discovery process easy. We’re looking for leverage and proof that will ensure we can demand the maximum compensation. It shows the at-fault party we mean business.
One of the many benefits of working with an experienced work injury law firm is you can be confident we have considered all of your economic and non-economic injuries. We do not focus on what your injuries have been up to this point. We consider what you need in the long run to fully recover or to take care of your family when you are unable to work.
We expect insurance companies to offer as little as possible, which is why we are prepared to fight for the full and fair compensation you deserve. Kemmy Law Firm has an impressive track record, and in a majority of cases, we succeed in recovering what our client’s need.

Mr. Kemmy comes from good stock and was referred to us by one of the best. And if he's good enough for him to lay his reputation on the line, he's good enough for me.
