Who Covers Medical Costs After a Work Accident?
If you or a loved one has suffered an on-the-job injury, you should not have to cover your own medical costs. But how do you make certain you get the compensation you need, not only to cover medical costs, but also lost wages, pain and suffering? That's where we come in. We are the Law Firm of David A. Canales, PLLC in San Antonio, Texas.
What About Workers' Compensation?
Victims of workplace accidents immediately think that workers' compensation is the only way to get compensation. The reality is that workers' compensation provides coverage for medical treatment, but does not cover lost wages entirely. It doesn't cover pain and suffering at all. There are other options available in many cases, and we have the experience to find those options.
Getting You the Compensation You Need
After a job site accident, we will look past workers' comp to determine if there is an opportunity to file a personal injury claim. This opportunity is available when a third party, such as a contractor at the work site or the manufacturer of a piece of defective work equipment, was responsible for the accident. It is not always immediately obvious when a third party is responsible for an accident. That's why we always look beyond the obvious.
At our law firm you will find a lawyer with the insurance experience to help you get the compensation you need. Our founding attorney, David A. Canales, is a former insurance claims adjuster and insurance defense attorney who knows firsthand how the opposition works in workplace accident cases. This experience gives him an edge in overcoming the opposition and finding all opportunities for compensation.

Our focus is on cases that involve catastrophic injuries, such as brain injury and spinal cord injury. We also represent families in wrongful death cases.
