How Long Does Workers Compensation Last in Texas?
Workers' comp in Texas lasts the entire lifetime for the claimant when it pertains to the medical care that the claimant receives. This means that you will receive medical treatment for the remainder of your life, so long as the treatment is for the work related injury. The biggest issue most Claimants run into, is 'what diagnosis has the carrier accepted'. Many insurance companies will accept either a contusion, sprain or strain, but when it comes to tears, bulges, or herniations, the carriers are more reluctant to accept those diagnosis. Thats why its important to hire an experienced san antonio workers comp attorney to take on the insurance companies and prove that all those diagnosis are work related.
