Texas Bad Faith Lawyer
If you are injured on the job and make a workers' compensation claim, the workers' compensation insurance company has to follow certain rules on how they treat you. If the workers' compensation company delays or denies your claim without a valid reason, then the company may have violated Texas law by acting in bad faith.

Serious Consequences for You and Your Family
If the Texas Department of Insurance has determined that your workers' compensation claim is valid and the insurance company has refused or failed to pay it, or if the delay in payment has caused additional harm, you may have the right to file a lawsuit against the workers' compensation carrier and its adjusters for violations of the Texas Insurance Code and acting in bad faith in the handling of your workers compensation claim.
When a workers' compensation company acts in bad faith by unjustly delaying or denying your claim, you and your family may suffer even worse damages. Without the financial benefit of the workers' compensation money to help replace lost wages and pay medical bills, you may be forced into a financial corner using savings and credit and retirement funds to pay medical bills, mortgage payments, car payments and other expenses. In a worst-case scenario, you could be forced into bankruptcy or home foreclosure, or your credit rating could seriously decline if you are unable to pay your bills.
Even worse, the unjust denial of or delay in providing necessary medical care can create additional injuries for you.
