The Work Comp Department of Bailey & Galyen provides legal services exclusively to injured workers that have a claim under the Division of Worker's Compensation.
In Texas, employers are not required to carry worker's compensation insurance for their employees. For the companies that do provide worker's compensation coverage, we can assist you in your claim. If your company does not carry coverage, or has private coverage, we can definitely refer you to an attorney to better assist you with your claim. Contact us immediately so that we can anonymously investigate whether or not your employer provides coverage.
If you are considering hiring an attorney, please call our office for a free initial evaluation of your claim. Remember, the insurance carrier has attorneys working for them, you may want to consider having your own legal representation to protect your rights.

Excellent!
When I came to Bailey and Galyen for help on my work comp case, I was confused and feeling hopeless. My previous attorney rarely returned phone calls or emails. Nor did he help me receive treatment for my injuries. In the end many of my work comp benefits were stopped and we parted ways. Bai...

Made My Life Matter
When I asked Kim Wyatt if she would help me, she catapulted into action, starting that very day! She literally led me, step-by-step, into Victory! I'm confident my case(s) was challenging beyond my ability to understand all its "ins and outs." Her consistent loyalty to the legal process was unre...

Devastated
Kim has represented me for 14 months in my worker’s comp case. I ruined my shoulder at work and went through painful test, horrible physical therapy that was a joke. Only to go to trial and lose. Kim, and all the assisting attorneys failed me with being unprepared and not having all our evidence in l...
Its understandable to be angry at the results of a Judge's decision and how that decision affects your life and livelihood. We took your case when it was 100% denied, when you weren't able to find another attorney to help you, and we WON. As time went on, as with a lot of WC cases, the insurance disputed the seriousness of your injuries and your checks stopped. Once again, we took up the case and argued that the more severe conditions were related, we were able to get multiple providers to write a letter of causation to support the severity of your injuries, we were able to secure an alternate impairment rating to support your case. You would have never have been able to get these things without our assistance, and assuring the providers that we were fighting this for you. The state appointed doctor (designated doctor) went completely against you indicating that these severe conditions were pre-existing and not related, and that you had a zero (0%) rating. Not getting paid, treatment getting denied....we still pursued your case to argue that your injuries, ALL your injuries should be included. We stopped getting paid the moment that your checks stopped since we don't get paid unless you get paid, yet we spent the next 6 months arguing your case and finally concluding with a Judge that decided the DD was correct in his findings, and ruled against us. To say that we financially ruined you? Your checks stopped long before we made it to the Judge, yet we continued to assist you. Attorneys don't usually work for free, but we did...to help YOU. Me being rude, was to ask you both to be on the phone when we provided you updates (you and your wife). After 2-3 times, I could not provide you a lengthy explanation just to have you say "can you now explain all that you said to my wife?" Me asking you to both be available moving forward to discuss your case is not being rude. Me providing detailed explanations as to what the law says, or what a report means, no matter how much you disagreed with the facts, is not being rude. I prefer to be honest, and lay things out completely without any spin, so that you understand. I am truly sorry that the Judge did not rule in your favor, and you MUST understand that I have no control over your case's outcome. If I did, everyone would win. Tying a financial gain to your case, and how we ruined you and left you penniless? You received a significant amount and the same quality of representation as a person that was actually paying me...for free. Again, I am terribly sorry that your case did not result in the way we wanted and hoped it would. I will continue to try my best to assist injured workers in navigating this WC system and provide a superior level of advocacy to the best of me and my teams abilities.
