Thousands of workers are injured every year by entirely manageable hazards that arise from outdoor work, particularly in the summer heat. Employees can enhance their safety by following a few simple recommendations.
Summer is here, and so are a host of occupational hazards for those who will be working outdoors, such as landscapers and construction workers. It is true that worker’s compensation and personal injury law will compensate you for the illnesses and injuries that result from many of these hazards. 
But wouldn’t it be better to simply avoid harm in the first place?
Outdoor work is often an economic necessity, even in the summer. What you can do, however, is anticipate problems before they arise and institute sensible safety precautions. Following is a very abbreviated list of some of the hazards you might face while working outside and some of the precautions you should consider.
Heat Stress: “Heat stress” is a catch-all term that includes various heat-related dangers such as heat stroke, heat cramps, heat exhaustion and heat rash. Recommendations:
Sun Exposure: Fair-skinned workers are particularly vulnerable to sun exposure, even on cloudy days. Recommendations:
Noise: Although noise pollution is not directly related to hot weather, it tends to occur more frequently during the warmer months when outdoor work is at its peak. Permanent hearing loss is a frequent consequence. Recommendations:
Bio-hazards (poisonous plants and animals): Common bio-hazards include poison ivy, poisonous spiders, venomous snakes and insects carrying infectious diseases. Recommendations:
Diseases Carried by Insects: Insects can carry various diseases, including the Zika virus and Lyme disease. Recommendations:
If you have suffered an work injury that you believe was caused by outdoor work; especially if you believe your condition resulted from insufficient safety precautions taken by your employer or the owner of your work site, contact the Dallas Personal Injury Lawyers at Rasansky Law Firm for help establishing your claim.

Serious injuries often result in chronic pain and permanent disabilities. These disabilities can obviously have a profound impact on the rest of your life, your mobility, as well as your ability to earn a living. If someone else's actions contributed to your injuries, why should you also suffer the financial consequences of their negligence?
The truth is that not only should you be compensated for your medical bills and lost wages, you deserve to be compensated for 100 percent of your related losses. This includes compensation for pain and suffering, disfigurement, future medical expenses, rehabilitation and assistive devices, loss of consortium, loss of future income due to a reduced earning capacity, and more.
In order to successfully recover the compensation you deserve following a personal injury, you need someone working on your behalf to investigate your claims, build your case, prove up your damages, prepare a lawsuit, and make an official demand. Personal injury claims in Texas can be very complex, and often rely on an expert understanding of the civil practice and remedies code, as well as relevant case law.
Our Dallas personal injury attorneys have helped countless people in your exact situation since we opened our doors in 1995, and we understand how difficult such an injury can be on your family — both mentally and financially. Our job is to handle your claim from beginning to end, while you focus on recovering.
Not only can you call or email us 24 hours a day to discuss your legal options free of charge, but we take all cases on a contingency fee agreement. This means that under no circumstances will we ever ask you to pay us a penny out of pocket, as we only earn our fee if and when we win your claim and put money in your pocket.
While disabling injuries can result from a number of different circumstances, our law firm has considerable experience helping victims of automobile accidents, falls, workplace injuries, and those injured by faulty products or defective machinery. We've successfully represented clients with various types of disabling injuries, including amputations, traumatic brain injuries, vision loss, hearing loss, spinal cord damage, severe burns, and more.
There are a lot of factors which go into calculating your total damages and determining the value of your case, including (but not limited to) the following:
Recovering compensation is not going to be an easy task, as you can be certain the insurance company and their team of attorneys are actively working to counter your claims. Without a solid strategy backed by hard evidence and proof of your damages, the other side has no reason to settle or negotiate.
Remember that you only get one shot at bringing your claim in court, and one simple misstep could result in your claim being summarily dismissed. If you've been injured and would like to discuss your legal options for no cost, call or email us today.

Dallas Fire-Rescue was called to 2424 Swiss Avenue at around 1:00 p.m. on Wednesday (01/10/2018) in response to a report of an injured worker. Dozens of first responders arrived on scene, but were unable to reach the man until Oncor arrived to de-energize the lines.
According to CBS 11, the victim's brother says the two of them were on the roof—installing a scaffolding safety rail at the top of Lizard Lounge's front exterior—when the victim slipped. A pole that the man was holding apparently made contact with an overhead power line, causing the man to suffer a serious electric shock and tumble from the roof. As the victim fell, his clothing became snagged on part of the scaffolding, leaving the man suspended about two stories above the ground.
Once Oncor Electric arrived at the scene and cut power to the lines, firefighters were able to free the victim from the scaffolding. Unfortunately, the man was pronounced deceased at the scene by the Dallas County Medical Examiner.
Dallas Police have not released the victim's name or confirmed the nature of the work being performed, but Lizard Lounge owner Don Nedler told one news outlet that the man was an independent contractor working on repairs to the exterior of the building.
This is a truly tragic event, and unfortunately, one which should have been entirely avoidable had proper protocols been in place.
In addition to any state laws or local ordinances that may exist, OSHA imposes strict regulations and minimum clearance restrictions with regard to workers near power lines. Texas' High Voltage Overhead Lines Act states that if it's possible for a worker (or their equipment) to come within six feet of any high voltage overhead electric line, the project supervisor or foreman is required to first notify the operator of the electric line at least 48 hours in advance of beginning any planned work, and arrange for permission, for lines to be turned off, moved, or for other safety arrangements to be made.
While we don't know all the details of this unfortunate accident, it seems very likely that either the company responsible for completing the repairs failed to notify and receive permission from Oncor, or their was a failure on Oncor's behalf.
Our firm has considerable experience with power line accident cases, and we know that — as with any fatal work accident — issues of liability depend heavily upon the facts of the case. Our hope is that a thorough investigation is conducted in order to determine exactly what factors may have contributed to this tragedy.

Loading docks are commonly found at retail businesses, warehouses, and other similar settings. There are many safety risks inherent to dock workers, but this is no excuse for injuries caused by lax safety protocols, improper training, or negligence on behalf of management or another worker.
Employers are required to provide a safe work environment, and failing in this regard can open themselves up to liability when an employee is injured on the job. In Texas, your options following an on-the-job injury generally depend on two things:
Dock workers and truck drivers are usually considered employees, but some employers may classify (or misclassify) employees as contractors. Bonafide employees may be eligible for certain benefits (including workers’ compensation), while contractors, by virtue of not being "employed" by their superiors, may not. Of course just because your boss tells you that you’re a contractor doesn’t mean that you're considered a contractor in the eyes of the law.
If the employer does not subscribe to state-run workers' compensation insurance, the employee is permitted to file a normal work injury claim and seek 100% of their damages and related losses. If they do subscribe to WC insurance, injured employees are only allowed to pursue a workers' comp claim. The problem is that many people don't realize that employers in Texas are not required to purchase workers' compensation insurance, and some unscrupulous businesses will attempt to hide this fact from you.
WC claims are generally handled administratively, allow the injured employee seek medical treatment, and generally seek to recover a portion of the worker's lost wages. While workers' comp is beneficial in many situations, it is only designed to pay a portion of your actual damages. Because work injury claims in Texas are so complex, it's always a good idea to seek out an attorney who offers free consultations in order to determine your options moving forward. The attorneys at Rasansky Law Firm are happy to discuss your case free of charge at (214) 617-1886.
There are a variety of accidents common to loading dock workers and truck drivers, including muscle strains, slip and fall accidents, and crush injuries. Accidents that occur at loading bays are often catastrophic or fatal due to the mass of the cargo generally involved. Many victims suffer from amputation, disfigurement, or permanent disability, which can prevent them from even returning to work in the same field. Here are a few accident scenarios common to loading docks:
While not every loading dock accident automatically results in an OSHA investigation, many do. It's important to understand though, that you should never wait for an OSHA investigation to be completed before filing a claim. These investigations can take months to complete, and may not have any bearing on your actual case. The discovery of an OSHA violation could prove helpful to your civil claim, but it's also vital to act quickly. The more time that passes, the harder it becomes to collect key evidence necessary to proving your case.
Loading bays are dangerous areas. It is for this reason that supervisors are required to ensure that all workers have the necessary safety training which will come in handy should there be an emergency. Loading docks are supposed to be well-lit at all times, helping both workers and vehicle operators avoid preventable accidents. Should your supervisor fail to offer you the proper training, tools, or safety gear, they may be opening the company up to liability when a worker is injured.
When it comes to recovering compensation for your injuries, medical bills, lost wages, and other related damages, it really comes down to the particulars of your case. Work injury law in Texas is complex, but our Dallas injury lawyers have considerable experienced in this area. Call us at (214) 617-1886 today for a free consultation. We're happy to discuss the facts of your case and advise you of your rights for absolutely no cost. In fact, we handle these cases on a contingency basis, meaning we'll never ask for a penny out of pocket to handle your claim.

Don't worry, we can still help you recover money for medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and more through a non-subscriber work injury claim. In fact, you're likely able to recover much MORE through a nonsubscriber claim than you would through a traditional workers' compensation claim. For a free consultation, call us at (214) 617-1886!
Unlike most other states, Texas does not require employers to carry workers' compensation insurance. This comes as a surprise to most people, but it's not necessarily a bad thing for the victim. While workers' compensation insurance provides injured workers with free medical care and a portion of their lost wages regardless of who was at fault for the injury, it essentially punishes the victim for an injury which may not have been their fault by arbitrarily reducing their pay and limiting their options.
Most employers in Texas are happy to carry workers' compensation insurance. Not because it's good for employees, but because it shields the company from liability.
If someone is injured or killed on the job in Texas and the employer subscribes to state-run workers' comp, the victim and/or their family is barred from filing a negligence claim against the company (except when gross negligence is involved) by law. While this is a great deal for employers, victims are afforded no leverage, cannot see their own doctor, and are often denied coverage for a variety of reasons.
If you were injured at work and your employer does not carry workers' comp, we urge you to call us as soon as possible. The Dallas works accident attorneys at Rasansky Law Firm have considerable experience with nonsubscriber work injury claims, and we're happy to explain the options available to you and your family for no cost. In fact, we never charge a penny unless we actually put money in your pocket. To discuss the facts of your case with us today, call (214) 617-1886 (toll-free) 24 hours a day.
When an employer opts out of workers' comp, on-the-job injuries are treated just like any other personal injury claim. While victims are free to accept any compensation/support from their employers, understand that you have no guarantee they will hold their end of the bargain. You can be fired at any time for no reason in Texas, and if the company decides to stop paying for treatment or your lost wages, you will then have to find an attorney willing to help you (which can be extremely difficult if some time has passed).
Unfortunately, we see this exact scenario play out very often. We understand your reluctance to "lawyer up" following a workplace injury, but the truth is that employers are worried about their bottom line. Even if they're very receptive and supportive now, once your medical bills begin coming in, they will almost always change their tune.
While workers' compensation claims only cover approved medical bills and a portion of your lost wages (and only after missing several days), nonsubscriber claims allow you to seek compensation for 100% of your related losses. Not only do you deserve 100% of your lost wages, you also deserve compensation for pain and suffering, physical impairment, any out-of-pocket expenses, and more. If your injury prevents you from returning to work in your career field, you also deserve compensation for the income you would have been able to earn had you not suffered your injury.

Serious injuries to the fingers or hand can be painful, expensive to treat, and can result in permanent damage which may limit your ability to earn a living. If you feel as though your injury was the result of negligence on behalf of another person, product, or an employer, we urge you to call our Dallas law firm today for a free consultation.
The term "degloving" refers to an injury in which the skin is completely separated from the underlying tissue, severing the blood supply to the skin and leaving the muscle (and sometimes bone) exposed. This definition in no way describes the excruciating pain and severity of such injuries, which often result in disfiguring scars and a permanent loss or reduction of function.
An injury to the finger or hand often results in serious avulsion of the skin and subcutaneous tissues, and can easily damage nerve endings, tendons, and intrinsic muscles. This can lead to permanent nerve damage, limited use of the hand, and in some cases, even amputation.
There may also be fractures due to the trauma, injury to the blood vessels, and other types of life-threatening complications that can result in expensive medical treatment, and may even prevent a plastic surgeon from providing reconstructive treatment until the underlying conditions have been addressed and corrected.
When it comes to degloving injuries, there are four general classifications, depending on severity: abrasion/avulsion, non-circumferential, circumferential single plane, and circumferential multi-plane.
An injury to the hand and/or fingers often requires orthopedic and reconstructive surgery, and some types of injuries (e.g., degloving) may later necessitate cosmetic surgery in order to improve appearance and function. Your surgeon will make an evaluation to determine whether revascularization is necessary, as it's sometimes possible to vasculyse degloved skin using vein grafts in order to restore blood flow to the injured area.
Sadly, sometimes amputation may be necessary. If a necrotizing fasciitis infection sets in, antibiotics are often useless. In cases like this, amputation may be the only option in order to save the patient's life.
Because these types of injuries often lead to the patient's lack of dexterity and difficulty in the performance of everyday tasks, physical and occupational therapy following medical treatment is essential. This type of ongoing treatment helps provide the best opportunity for the victim to regain functionality and learn to adapt to any permanent disability.
The majority of the time, degloving injuries tend to occur in motor vehicle crashes, workplace accidents, and as the result of a ring becoming caught on something during a fall.
While not all degloving accidents occur due to obvious negligence on behalf of another person, you still may have options to recover compensation to pay for medical bills, pain and suffering, lost wages, and other related damages. If your injury prevents you from earning a living, you may even be able to recover compensation equal to the income you would have made until retirement had you not been injured.
Employers are often held liable for on-the-job injuries, manufacturers can be held liable for producing defective or unsafe products/equipment, and your homeowners insurance may compensate you for injuries sustained in or around the home.
Because issues of liability can be quite complex in personal injury cases, it's strongly advised that you at least speak with a personal injury attorney over the phone to understand the options available to you and your family. If we feel as though you have a strong case, we'll tell you as much and explain what lies ahead. If we need more information, we'll work with you to get it.
We do not charge you anything for this, and in fact, our firm only works on contingency. If you hire us to pursue a personal injury claim, we only collect a fee if and when we put money in your pocket.

Texas is home to dozens of manufacturing plants and factories which produce everything from food, to furniture, to oil & gas. Tens of thousands of Texans work in these environments, which are often fraught with risk and dangerous scenarios.
According to the Federal Bureau of Labor Statistics, nearly 1 in 10 workplace injuries occur in a factory setting. This could be attributed to the use of heavy equipment, hot liquids and gases that one has to work with, as well as a lax attitude when it comes to factory and industrial safety in Dallas (as well as Texas as a whole).
If you've been injured or lost a loved one in a factory accident in Dallas or any Texas city, contact Rasansky Law Firm today at (214) 617-1886 for a free consultation. We'll give you our honest opinion, and determine whether or not you have a case with which we can help. Our firm only works on behalf of injured victims, and we take all cases on a contingency fee basis (no fee unless we actually put money in your pocket).
Here are a few common ways factory workers can be injured due to negligence:
Many employers in Dallas choose to opt in to the state-run workers' compensation program, but it's important to understand that this is not required in Texas (as opposed to almost every other state). Many companies choose to avoid the high cost of workers' comp by self-insuring or going through a 3rd-party insurance provider—especially in industries where work is inherently dangerous.
If an employer subscribes to workers' compensation, their employees are barred from filing personal injury claims (except in the case of a fatal workplace accident caused by gross negligence). An injured worker's only real option in this scenario is to pursue an administrative workers' comp claim.
Workers' comp allows injured workers to receive medical care and a percentage of their lost wages (if you miss more than seven days of work), but there is a cap on the total amount you can receive. It's unfair to the victim and their family when a worker's pay is cut after being injured due to no fault of his/her own, but the WC system wasn't designed to be fair; it was simply designed to limit the number of work injury claims going through the court system.
For employers who do NOT subscribe to state-run workers' compensation insurance (even if they have a another type of insurance policy), employees have every right to file a work injury claim and seek compensation for 100% of their related damages. Not only are injured employees allowed seek compensation for their medical bills, pain and suffering, and 100% of their lost wages; those who suffer permanent disability or are otherwise unable to return to work in the same field may seek compensation equal to what they would have earned over the course of your career had they not been injured.
In the event you were injured due to a defective or faulty product such as a power tool or other type of machine, the existence of workers' comp may not even come into play. Even if your employer subscribes to workers' compensation, you may still have a separate product liability claim against the manufacturer.
While this may all seem complicated on the surface, our attorneys have considerable experience with these types of claims and know exactly what to look for. Feel free to call us at (214) 617-1886 for advice! We're happy to go over the facts of your claim and explain your options moving forward, and we do this free of charge.

Injuries which cause disfigurements can have lasting effects on a victim. You deserve to be fully compensated for your injuries, and our Dallas disfigurement lawyers can help. Call us at (214) 617-1886 for a free consultation.
The definition of the term "disfigurement" means to impair beauty or alter one's physical appearance in an unsightly way. In addition to physical pain, victims of disfiguring injuries often suffer from psychological distress, embarrassment, and/or depression.
Victims deserve to be fully-compensated for the damages they've suffered, and this can include more than just medical bills. If it can be shown that someone's negligence caused your injuries, they are liable for making you whole again. Essentially, the goal of a personal injury claim or lawsuit is to return the victim back to the position he/she would have been in if the injury had not occurred.
While it may not be possible for the victim to fully-recover from certain types of disfiguring injuries (burns, scars, amputations, etc.), an experienced personal injury lawyer can help prove up your damages, draft a demand, and ensure that you're given the best opportunity to recover every penny you rightfully deserve.
Some injury scenarios are more prone to cause scarring or other forms of disfigurement. Those types of scenarios include (but are not limited to) the following:
[column width="1/3" title="" title_type="single" animation="none" implicit="true"]
[column width="1/3" title="" title_type="single" animation="none" implicit="true"]
[column width="1/3" last="true" title="" title_type="single" animation="none" implicit="true"]
There are several treatment options that can be used to lessen the psychological effects of disfigurement, including reconstructive surgery, cosmetic surgery, and prosthesis. While these types of treatment options are usually considered elective in nature, you have every right to seek the compensation necessary to make you whole.
In the early stages of medical care and rehabilitation, the victim may find that treatment can be quite extensive and painful to endure. Additionally, such a catastrophic injury can cause collateral issues which can affect your family's financial security. For instance, those who have lost a limb may find their ability to work is more difficult—if not impossible (especially those whose career requires intense physical exertion such as construction and other types of manual labor).
If you missed any work while recovering from your injuries, you're likely owed compensation for lost wages. If your injury prevents you from returning to work in your career field, you may be entitled to seek additional compensation through a diminished earnings capacity claim. After all, it's not your fault that you're unable to return to work and provide for your family due to someone else's negligence.
It’s important for anyone who has been disfigured in an accident to enlist the services of an experienced personal injury lawyer. It’s important to have someone on your side looking out for your best interests, and someone who has experience assessing all the potential costs (damages) associated with your injuries. The value of your claim will depend upon several factors, including the severity of the injuries; past, current, and future medical costs; loss of income; the defendant's insurance policy; your relationship with the defendant; and much, much more.
To get a good idea of what the potential value of your case may be, it's essential that you discuss the specifics of your case with a Dallas disfigurement lawyer today. Rasansky Law Firm offers free consultations over the phone or by email, and we're happy to evaluate the facts of your case and advise you of your options moving forward for no cost. In fact, our firm never even charges a fee unless we actually win your case and put money in your pocket.
The attorneys at Rasansky Law Firm are happy to speak to you about your potential case free of charge. If we can help with your claim, we'll do so for no out-of-pocket cost to you. Call us 24/7 at (214) 617-1886.
Call Rasansky Law Firm today at (214) 617-1886 and let our Dallas gas explosion lawyers explain the options available to you for free. We only handle these types of cases on contingency, meaning it'll never cost you a penny out of pocket.
Natural gas is produced all over Texas, and it is estimated that over a quarter of the country’s gas supply comes from the Lone Star State. While natural gas is an important part of our economy, it can be a dangerous substance if the pipes carrying it are compromised in even the smallest way.
Natural gas is highly flammable, and gas line accidents usually involve large explosions which happen in the blink of an eye, causing widespread carnage, wrongful deaths, and catastrophic injuries. You're likely familiar with the Atmos pipeline problems in Dallas recently, which caused an explosion that killed a 12-year-old girl.
The reality is that the vast majority (some would say all) gas explosions can be attributed to human negligence, meaning that just about every single case was entirely preventable. Had someone done what they were supposed to do in a professional capacity—with safety in mind—a gas explosion never would have happened.
We know you're likely overwhelmed right now, but understand that our Dallas lawyers are here to help. We want to help you and your family recover the compensation required to pay for your existing and future medical bills, ongoing treatment, and lost wages. We also want to make sure that changes are made as a result of this incident that serve to prevent similar events from injuring or killing others in the future.
Natural gas line explosions can occur due to a variety of factors, and the specific facts surrounding your case will play a major role in determining who was liable for the accident, what duties were owed to you, and ultimately, how your case is pursued. Gas explosions which occur on the job site may involve workers' compensation, explosions caused by equipment failure generally fall under product liability law, and some types of gas explosion accidents fall under premises liability law.
Because these types of accidents are often very complex, the best advice I can give you is to discuss the facts of your case with an attorney who offers free consultations. Our law firm is happy to review your case—as long as it occurred anywhere in Texas or Oklahoma—over the phone at (214) 617-1886 or by email using the contact form on this page. If we feel that you have an strong case, we'll offer our services on a contingency-fee basis (no-win no-fee).
Not only does a contingency-fee agreement ensure that you never risk a penny of your own money to pursue a claim, it also ensures that you get an honest assessment of the strength of your case. Since we only earn a fee on cases that we're able to win, it would make no sense for us to accept a case we didn't feel has a fair chance at trial. During your initial consultation we'll do our best to explain your legal options, answer all of your questions, and address your specific concerns.
Natural gas explosions in Texas usually lead to fatalities and serious injuries—some of which can have a lasting affect on the rest of your life. The extreme temperatures and all-engulfing flames can cause third degree burns in the matter of seconds, which often leave disfiguring scars.
Other injuries often associated with gas line explosions:
Not only do you deserve enough compensation to pay for medical treatment and future surgeries, you you deserve to be compensated for your pain and suffering, disfigurement, lost wages, diminished earning capacity, and more. Our goal is to seek compensation for every penny you're entitled to.
Natural gas explosions lawsuits in Texas aren’t easy to win. Gas companies are billion-dollar entities with armies of attorneys who are ready to shoot down any and all claims. They know how to use the law to deny, deflect and delay, and will do anything in their power to frustrate you in your journey towards compensation. Our job is to advocate on your behalf and shield you from these unscrupulous tactics.
By working with an experienced personal injury law firm in Dallas such as ours, you’re more likely to get the compensation you deserve. Don’t go it alone; call us today at (214) 617-1886 for your free and confidential consultation. We look forward to hearing from you.
The attorneys at Rasansky Law Firm are happy to speak to you about your potential case free of charge. If we can help with your claim, we'll do so for no out-of-pocket cost to you. Call us 24/7 at (214) 617-1886.
Police identified 26-year-old Aaron Stevens (of Burleson) as the victim of an accident involving a live power line that occurred at 6000 County Road 1001 in Godley, Texas.
According to Godley police spokesman Sgt. Matthew Cantrell, Stevens and his brother were installing a sign for Multi-Chem (an oilfield chemical business) when the lift they were in was raised too high, causing Stevens' head to touch the overhead power line.
CPR was performed on Stevens and he was transported via CareFlite to Texas Health Cleburne Hospital, where he was pronounced deceased at 2:16 p.m.
It's unclear who Stevens was working for at the time of the electrocution accident, but police say he was not an employee of Multi-Chem.
