As the title suggests, we will continue our series of articles on personal injury law by looking at work-related injuries. Normally, your employer has workman’s compensation coverage to offset some of the cost and liability of an on-the-job injury.

The area of personal injury law we are about to cover may be difficult for some readers, but it is our hope that examining this subject matter will help prevent more deaths on Texas roads.
