Hire a TX work comp attorney ASAP!!!

Probably not to avoid any potential conflicts.

You'll have spend out of pocket for a lawyer. If you don't defend yourself they'll probably get a default judgement.

It could be a case if the place had liability insurance. Make sure you see a plastic surgeon or dermatologist.

The cases just settled so not sure you'll find an attorney now.

You cannot cancel a WC claim. You however can fire the lawyer. They may be able to assert a lien for fees and costs under Quantum Meruit.

Yes that's correct. You also try to go after as many parties as you can to maximize the recovery. You may also have a UM claim.

You may have a vaccine injury case but few attorneys handle them. If you cannot find one on AVVO, I'll gladly pass on an attorney who handles...

It means you need to hire a lawyer ASAP! Don't try to handle case on your own.

You were a victim of fraud. Contact the police and FBI. You may need to hire a banking lawyer.
