Can I sue my employer over a workplace injury?

In the vast majority of workplace accidents and injuries, you do not have the opportunity to pursue a legal action against your employer. There are exceptions, but these exist primarily to address instances of egregious negligence. Otherwise your recourse is likely limited to the workers’ compensation insurance held by your employer as required by Texas law. The benefits arrive more quickly and fault does not have to be proven, but the dollar amount awarded is likely to be smaller.
