Going to work each day is risky. You could trip and fall, a forklift could run into you, a conveyor belt could drag you, power tools could slice off your hand, an oil rig could explode, you could get into an auto accident on your way to the office supplies store, and more. Employers are responsible for providing a safe workplace for their employees. However, even with the best intentions, workplace accidents occur. If you’ve been injured on the job or at an oil and gas field, contact an Austin injury attorney to discuss your case. For some, workers compensation insurance will be adequate. For others, the only recourse is legal action. We are experienced in all areas of workplace safety, OSHA, workers compensation, and federal and Texas laws.
