Case File 004 – workplace injury

⚖️ Type of Case: Workplace Injury / Employer Liability
🏢 Issue: Denied Workers’ Compensation Claim, Employer Not Covered
📑 Action Taken: Investigation of Employer’s Coverage, Lawsuit Filed
✅ Result: Client’s Injury Claim Revived & Lawsuit Pursued

Case Summary

Our client was injured in a workplace accident. Despite his injuries, his employer failed to provide proper medical treatment and refused to pay him wages while he was recovering. To make matters worse, he received a letter from an insurance company stating that his claim was denied.

Believing he had no options, the client contacted several attorneys — but each turned him away, assuming workers’ compensation had been denied and the case was dead.

Big Dan Law’s Approach

Big Dan Law dug deeper. Upon investigation, we discovered that while the client’s W-2 showed his employer as the responsible company, that employer was not registered with the Texas Department of Insurance as having workers’ compensation coverage.

Under Texas law, this meant the employer was a nonsubscriber — and therefore could be sued directly for negligence. Armed with this information, Big Dan Law immediately filed a lawsuit for the client’s injuries.

Outcome

By uncovering what other attorneys missed, Big Dan Law revived our client’s claim and put him back on the path to recovery. Instead of being left without treatment, wages, or justice, our client now had a viable legal claim against his employer.

Why It Matters

Workers who are injured on the job often assume that a denial letter is the end of the road. Many attorneys stop there. But Big Dan Law looks deeper. If an employer is a nonsubscriber, they lose important legal protections — and injured employees can hold them fully accountable in court.
