A workplace accident can happen in any industry: construction, restaurants, warehouses, factories, transportation, or agriculture. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, 5,283 workers died from work-related injuries in the United States in 2023—and Hispanics are among the most affected groups.
What many don't know is that there are two legal paths after a workplace accident: workers' compensation and a civil lawsuit against responsible third parties. Both can be combined to maximize your compensation. A workplace accident attorney will determine which applies to your case.
At Conexión Legal, we help injured workers—with or without documentation—claim their rights. 100% service in Spanish, with no fees unless we win your workplace accident case.

You pay only when you win your workplace accident case
After a workplace accident, you have two distinct legal paths. Many injured workers can use both at the same time. A workplace accident attorney can explain which applies to your case.
Workers' Compensation
Civil lawsuit for workplace accident (third-party claim)
Workplace accidents happen in all types of jobs. If you were injured while performing your duties, you are very likely entitled to workers' compensation, regardless of the industry.
Caídas, derrumbes, maquinaria pesada, electricidad. La industria con más accidentes laborales fatales en EE.UU.
Caídas de estantes, montacargas, carga de peso excesivo. Lesiones de espalda en el trabajo son las más frecuentes.
Quemaduras, cortes, resbalones en pisos mojados. Los trabajadores de food service tienen alta tasa de accidentes en el trabajo.
Maquinaria sin protecciones, exposición a químicos, lesiones por movimientos repetitivos. Accidentes laborales industriales con secuelas permanentes.
Accidentes de camión, lesiones al cargar paquetes, caídas durante entregas. Accidente de trabajo cubierto por Workers' Comp aunque ocurra fuera del negocio.
Exposición a pesticidas, maquinaria agrícola, golpes de calor. Los trabajadores del campo hispanos son uno de los grupos más vulnerables a accidentes de trabajo.
Between workers' compensation and a civil lawsuit, a workplace accident attorney can help you claim all these benefits for your work-related accident.
Full medical expenses: consultations, surgeries, medications, physical therapy, and rehabilitation for the work-related injury
Lost wages during recovery from the work-related accident (weekly temporary disability payments)
Permanent disability: compensation if the work-related injury leaves lasting effects that reduce your ability to work
Vocational rehabilitation: training for a different job if you cannot return to your previous position
Vocational rehabilitation: training for a different job if you cannot return to your previous position
Pain and suffering — claimable in a civil lawsuit, not through workers' compensation. Many work-related accident cases are combined to maximize recovery
Punitive damages if the employer or a third party acted with gross negligence regarding workplace safety
Death benefits: if a worker dies due to a work-related accident, the family may claim compensation
Medical transportation expenses and home modifications if the work-related injury caused a disability
The first steps after a work-related injury are critical. Errors in reporting or delays can jeopardize your workers' compensation claim.
State clearly that the injury occurred at work. Your medical report is the primary evidence for your workers' compensation case. Do not wait to see if the pain goes away.
Submit it in writing within the first 30 days and keep a copy. Many workers' compensation claims are denied due to a failure to report in a timely manner.
Photograph the scene of the workplace accident, keep the names of coworkers who witnessed it, and save all medical and employment documents.
Do not sign employer documents or accept insurance settlements without consulting us first. A Spanish-speaking labor attorney protects your right to maximum compensation.
Most states protect all injured workers, regardless of immigration status. You cannot be deported for filing a workplace accident claim. Your employer also cannot threaten to report you to ICE — that is illegal. We are an ICE-free zone and guarantee your total protection.
