If you're injured at work, don't just rely on a verbal report. Put it in writing, and keep a copy for yourself. Because, if questions come up later about what happened, or when you actually reported it, having that written record is really important to have.

If you've been hurt on the job and you're not sure what to do next, we're happy to answer your questions.

Did you know Texas sets specific deadlines for insurers handling claims? In many cases, insurers have 15 business days to acknowledge a claim and begin investigating. They generally then have 15 business days to accept or deny the claim after receiving all information needed to decide. Extensions may apply.

The short answer is no, you don't have to accept it. An insurance company's first offer isn't necessarily what your claim is actually worth. And a lot of times, it's not even close. So before you accept anything, it's really, really important to understand whether that number accounts for everything you've lost because of the accident. Once you accept a settlement, you generally can't go back and ask for more, so it's worth slowing down and understanding what you're agreeing to.

If you've received a settlement offer and aren't sure whether it's fair, we're happy to answer your questions.

In most cases, reporting an insurance claim late does not automatically mean your claim is denied. Whether the delay affects your claim can depend on your policy, the circumstances, and whether the delay actually harmed the insurer’s ability to investigate.
