Definition and Overview: What is Serious Injury?
Severe injuries are defined as those that result in life-altering or permanently disabling conditions, including traumatic brain injuries, severe burns, and amputations, or those for which surgery is recommended.
These impactful injuries often happen in the workplace due to various factors such as falls, equipment malfunctions, hazardous conditions, or negligent co-workers.
Legal Grounds for Serious Injury Claims
Employees can file claims for workplace injuries based on employers' requirements to provide a safe work environment. If unsafe conditions lead to injuries, employers and third parties like contractors can be held accountable.
In Texas, employers must follow OSHA regulations, and those without workers' compensation insurance, known as non-subscribers, are subject to specific laws. Injured non-subscriber employees can sue or assert claims in arbitration for lost wages, loss of earning capacity, pain and suffering, mental anguish, and disfigurement.
Consequences of Serious Injuries
In recent years, the U.S. has experienced over 5,800 workplace fatalities each year due to injuries. In 2023, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported 5,283 fatal work injuries. While serious injuries can lead to ongoing medical care and emotional challenges, your serious injury attorney at Law Offices of Dean Malone, P.C. can help promote safer workplaces through litigation and arbitration and seek financial compensation during these difficult times.
