We Treat Injured Workers Across All Major Industries
Work-related injuries can happen suddenly or develop gradually over time — especially in high-risk industries like trucking, oil & gas, construction, warehousing, and transportation.
We regularly care for workers hurt in:
- Workplace slip, trip & fall accidents
- Repetitive motion injuries
- Oilfield & drilling injuries
- Equipment / machinery incidents
- 18-wheeler & commercial trucking accidents
- Motor-vehicle collisions while driving for work
- Warehouse & loading dock injuries
- Lifting, pulling, or pushing injuries
These injuries often result in:
- Back & neck pain
- Herniated or bulging discs
- Whiplash
- Shoulder & rotator cuff injuries
- Knee & hip injuries
- Hand, wrist & elbow injuries
- Sciatica / nerve damage
- Head injuries & concussions
If you were injured while operating or working around a semi-truck, hot-shot truck, or commercial vehicle, we ensure your injuries are evaluated, treated, and documented properly to protect your benefits.
You Don’t Have to Stay With the “Company Doctor”
Many injured workers feel pressured to see the employer’s preferred doctor — who may:
✘ Downplay your injuries
✘ Rush treatment
✘ Push you back to work too soon
✘ Ignore long-term stability & safety
You may have the right to switch doctors, and many injured workers do.
Our clinic provides:
✔ Patient-focused care
✔ Comprehensive evaluation
✔ Proper medical documentation
✔ Causation & rebuttal letters
✔ Appropriate referrals
We advocate for YOU — not the insurance company.
If you feel unheard or mistreated, we can help you transfer your claim and continue care with our medical team.
Help Filing or Investigating a Workers’ Comp Claim

Our team helps injured workers:
- File new claims
- Understand TDI rules
- Transfer to another treating doctor
- Request specialist referrals

Insurance companies often try to minimize or deny injuries — especially after trucking accidents where injuries are more severe.
We help ensure your records accurately reflect your physical condition.
Commercial Truck & 18-Wheeler Accidents
In the Permian Basin, thousands of workers drive commercial vehicles daily — from 18-wheelers and semi-trucks to hot-shot trucks and fuel haulers.
If you were injured while:
✅ Driving a commercial truck
✅ Riding as a passenger in a commercial vehicle
✅ Struck by an 18-wheeler or work vehicle
✅ Loading/unloading cargo
✅ Working around a truck yard or dock
…you may be eligible for Workers’ Compensation.
We assist with:
- Immediate evaluation & treatment
- Medical documentation
- Claim support
- Doctor transfer requests
- MMI / Impairment Rating guidance
- Designated Doctor (DD) coordination
- Attorney referrals, if needed
Commercial truck injuries often involve:
- Serious spinal injuries
- Head trauma / concussion
- Knee/hip/shoulder injuries
- Nerve damage
- Long-term disability
Our team works to ensure your injuries are fully documented so you receive the care and benefits you deserve.
✅ MMI, Impairment Ratings & Designated Doctor (DD) Exams
We guide injured workers through key workers’ comp milestones:
Maximum Medical Improvement (MMI)
We help ensure MMI determinations reflect your true medical condition and treatment needs. Sometimes MMI can be disputed depending on what's going on with your particular case and medical condition as a result of the work injury.
Impairment Ratings (IR)
Impairment ratings determine permanent disability benefits. Accurate testing and documentation are essential — especially for workers injured in 18-wheeler, oilfield accidents or any other work related accident.
Designated Doctor (DD) Exams
We assist with:
- DD exam referrals
- DD exam preparation
- Reviewing DD determinations
- Rebuttal documentation
We follow Texas Department of Insurance (TDI) rules to help protect workers’ rights.
✅ We Work With Attorneys & Ombudsmen
You do not need an attorney to begin care.
But if your case becomes disputed, complicated, or denied, we can:
- Work with your existing workers’ comp attorney
- Connect you with a reputable work comp attorney
- Communicate with TDI ombudsmen
- Assist with documentation & letters
You are not alone in this process.
