Workers' Compensation Attorney

in Dallas

Industrial accidents can lead to devastating injuries and fatalities, often caused by hazardous working environments or safety violations. Each Frenkel & Frenkel workers’ compensation attorney in Dallas has extensive experience with industrial accident cases, providing compassionate and dedicated legal representation to ensure that victims and their families receive the compensation they deserve. We advocate for our clients, seek justice, and hold negligent parties accountable.

Justice for the injured

Some employers do not have workers’ compensation insurance. In other cases, a third party, such as a vehicle or tool manufacturer, leasing company, other contractor onsite, or utility, may have contributed to a serious or fatal injury. In these cases, our personal injury lawyers at Frenkel & Frenkel can pursue compensation by bringing legal action against that party. If your employer or coworker was negligent and harmed you or your employer was grossly negligent in adhering to OSHA safety regulations, contact Frenkel & Frenkel for assistance.

Cases of gross negligence

In certain limited situations, employees can sue their employers even if they offer workers’ compensation. This occurs when an employee dies due to an employer’s gross negligence.
If a third party was involved, you have a legal right to seek compensation through a claim or lawsuit.

Examples of third parties include the following:

A third-party lawsuit can be filed to pursue compensation far above the benefits you would normally receive through workers’ compensation.
