Workplace Injury Lawyer in El Paso TX — You May Be Owed More Than Workers' Comp

Workers' compensation provides benefits for medical expenses and a portion of lost wages, but it doesn't cover pain and suffering or full lost wages. More importantly, workers' comp prevents you from suing your employer. However, if a third party contributed to your accident — a subcontractor, equipment manufacturer, property owner, or delivery driver — you can file a separate personal injury lawsuit against them. This is where Karl Luth can significantly increase your total recovery. Oil field workers should also see our oil field injury attorney page.

El Paso's growing construction industry, manufacturing sector, and transportation industry create significant workplace injury risks. Common workplace accidents include falls from heights (scaffolding, ladders, roofs), being struck by falling objects, forklift accidents, machinery entanglement, electrocution, chemical exposure, and vehicle accidents. Construction sites are particularly dangerous, with multiple contractors working in close proximity.

OSHA violations are powerful evidence in workplace injury cases. When an employer or contractor violates OSHA safety standards and a worker is injured, those violations can establish negligence. Karl Luth works with workplace safety experts to identify all OSHA violations and other safety failures. If a workplace accident resulted in a death, the family may have a wrongful death claim.
