El Paso Work Place Injury Attorney

Expert Representation for Workplace Injuries in El Paso

Workplace injuries can happen in any industry, leaving employees with physical pain, emotional distress, and financial burdens. When such injuries occur, it's essential to have an experienced personal injury attorney on your side to ensure you receive the compensation you deserve. At the Law Offices of Ruben Ortiz, we specialize in representing workers who have been injured on the job in El Paso and the surrounding areas.

Why Choose The Law Offices of Ruben Ortiz, PLLC?

At the Law Offices of Ruben Ortiz, we believe in doing things differently from most law firms. Did you know that personal injury law firms may charge between 33 1/3% and 50% of your settlement in contingency fees after your case is won? Imagine that you won $100,000 for an injury claim, only to find that you actually only got $67,000 or, worse yet, $50,000. Can you still even afford to recover comfortably at that point? Maybe not!

At the Law Offices of Ruben Ortiz, our personal injury attorney thinks the client who was injured should be the one who benefits the most from a winning claim. In order to keep things fair and keep our clients happy, we collect a contingency fee amount of just 25% when a case settles without a lawsuit being filed. The same $100,000 win mentioned before would equal a full $75,000 for our client. In other words, when you pay less attorney fees, you get to keep more money in your pocket.

No Upfront Fees: We Only Get Paid If You Do!

We understand the financial burden a workplace injury can impose on you and your family. That’s why we operate on a contingency fee basis—there are no upfront fees, and we only get paid if you do. This ensures that everyone has access to quality legal representation, regardless of their financial situation.

Common Workplace Injuries

Workplace injuries can occur in various forms and affect workers across all industries. Some of the most common workplace injuries include:

• Sprains and Strains: Often caused by overexertion or repetitive motion.
• Cuts and Lacerations: Resulting from the use of sharp tools or machinery.
• Fractures: Often due to falls or being struck by objects.
• Burns: From exposure to heat, chemicals, or electrical sources.
• Head Injuries: Resulting from falls or being struck by falling objects.

Seeking Compensation for Workplace Injuries

If you’ve been injured on the job, you may be entitled to compensation for:

• Medical bills
• Lost wages
• Pain and suffering
• Rehabilitation costs
• Loss of future earning capacity

Our experienced personal injury attorney will work diligently to investigate your case, gather evidence, and build a strong claim to ensure you receive the maximum compensation you deserve.

Workers’ Compensation vs. Personal Injury Claims

In Texas, injured workers often have to decide whether to file a workers' compensation claim or pursue a personal injury lawsuit. Each approach has its benefits and drawbacks, and the right decision depends on various factors, such as the cause of the accident, the severity of your injuries, and whether a third party is responsible for your suffering.

Our attorney will review your case and guide you down the path that best suits your needs. In some cases, you may be able to pursue both workers' compensation and a lawsuit.

When to Take Your Workplace Injury Claim to Court

In personal injury cases, going to court should always be your last option. Many claims can be settled outside of the courtroom, saving you time and reducing legal fees. Settlement negotiations can lead to a fair agreement tailored to your needs without the stress of a civil trial.

Trust our attorney to guide you when you’ve been hurt in a workplace accident. Our El Paso firm will carefully consider all options before moving forward. We will always keep you informed, helping you make informed decisions and focus on healing.
