Most workplaces carry the potential for some sort of injury, but for many industries, diligence must be observed on a daily basis to avoid severe injuries or death. Negligence on the part of managers, corporations, or manufacturers can mean the difference between a safe work environment and a deadly disaster in the making for thousands of workers across the country. In some cases, injured workers are covered by workers’ compensation in Texas. But this isn’t always the case. Protecting yourself from workplace negligence starts with understanding the risks and applicable laws specific to your industry. An Alice workplace accident lawyer could be your ally when these incidents occur.
