Work Injury FAQs
What should I do immediately after a work-related injury?
Seek medical attention promptly, even if injuries seem minor. Report the incident to your employer and document the details. This ensures proper medical records and supports your claim.
Am I eligible for workers’ compensation in Texas?
Texas does not mandate employers to carry workers’ compensation insurance. If your employer is a non-subscriber, you may pursue a personal injury lawsuit against them. Regardless, consulting with an attorney is advisable to explore all options.
What types of work injuries are covered?
Most work-related injuries are covered, including back, neck, shoulder, knee, head injuries, and repetitive stress injuries. Pre-existing conditions may qualify if aggravated by work activities.
Can I sue my employer for a work injury?
If your employer subscribes to workers’ compensation, your exclusive remedy is through the system. However, if they don’t subscribe, you may have grounds to file a lawsuit for pain and suffering, mental anguish, and other damages.
How can the Law Offices of David Kohm assist me?

What compensation might I be entitled to?
You may be eligible for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and future medical care. If a third party is responsible, additional compensation may be pursued through a personal injury lawsuit.
How much does it cost to hire an attorney?
The Law Offices of David Kohm operate on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay no upfront costs. We only receive a fee if we successfully recover compensation for you.
How long do work injury cases take to resolve?
The duration varies based on case complexity and cooperation from involved parties. While some cases settle within a few months, others may take longer, especially if litigation is necessary.
Should I speak with the insurance adjuster before consulting an attorney?
It’s advisable to consult with an attorney before engaging with an insurance adjuster. They may attempt to settle for less than your case is worth. Having legal representation ensures your rights are protected.
What if I have a pre-existing condition?
A pre-existing condition doesn’t automatically disqualify you. If your work activities aggravated or worsened the condition, you may still be entitled to compensation.
