Workers' Compensation

Need help filing a Workers' Comp claim?

Serious on-the-job injuries affect not only the workman, but the family as a whole, even if there is no permanent disability. Financial stress, pain and suffering, emotional distress, loss of enjoyment of life are some of the effects a family might experience. In the case of a resulting permanent disability or disfigurement, a family may be even more severely affected. Recuperation from a serious injury in the workplace might even be slowed if there is undue emotional stress over loss of income, loss of future wages, and other factors related to the accident.

Workers' compensation insurance companies try to keep costs down. Their prime concern is not the financial comfort of the injured workman, nor is it to ensure you are fully advised of your rights or possible claims. If you or a loved one has been injured in a workplace accident, it is important to have an experienced Houston workman's compensation lawyer assist you in making your claim for damages. At The Doan Law Firm, P.C., the legal team is vigilant in protecting your rights and determined to gain the maximum compensation available to you.
