Brookdale Senior Living Workers’ Comp Claims in Texas

Injuries in long-term care facilities are more common than most people realize. If you work for Brookdale Senior Living in Texas and suffered an on-the-job injury, you may already know your employer does not carry traditional workers’ compensation insurance. This means you are dealing with a non-subscriber claim, which follows a completely different legal path than standard workers’ comp cases. At Armstrong Lee & Baker LLP, we help injured workers across Texas hold non-subscribing employers like Brookdale accountable.

Filing a Workers’ Compensation Claim Against Brookdale Senior Living in Texas

When filing a claim against a non-subscriber employer like Brookdale, you are not required to prove that your injuries fall under workers’ comp guidelines. Instead, you have the legal right to bring a negligence-based lawsuit.

Unlike traditional workers’ comp cases, you may be eligible to recover damages for:

• Medical expenses
• Lost wages and future earning capacity
• Pain and suffering
• Emotional distress

This legal pathway allows for broader compensation, but it also requires a detailed and strategic approach to proving fault.

Identifying Employer Negligence in Brookdale Senior Living Work Injury Cases

Yes, employer negligence must be established to recover damages from a non-subscriber. Common examples of negligence at Brookdale facilities may include:

• Inadequate staff training
• Unsafe lifting procedures
• Lack of proper equipment or staffing
• Failure to respond to reported hazards

By identifying the ways Brookdale failed to protect its workers, we can build a strong case on your behalf.

How to Prove Negligence by Brookdale Senior Living in a Workplace Injury Case

Document everything immediately. Photographs of the scene, medical reports, witness statements, and internal communication can be key pieces of evidence.

We often find that internal policies contradict actual practices at Brookdale facilities. If you were encouraged to work while injured or denied safety equipment, these details help strengthen your negligence claim.

What Brookdale Senior Living’s Non-Subscriber Status Means for Your Claim

Because Brookdale Senior Living is a non-subscriber, it cannot claim certain legal defenses that subscribing employers can. For example, they cannot:

• Blame a co-worker for your injury
• Use your own negligence against you unless it was the sole cause
• Claim you “assumed the risk” of injury just by doing your job

This gives injured Brookdale employees a significant legal advantage when pursuing a claim.

Building a Legal Strategy and Getting the Right Support

We build every case from the ground up with close attention to detail. We work with medical experts, analyze workplace safety records, and collect evidence to highlight how Brookdale’s decisions or inactions contributed to your injury.

Each case is unique, so our approach is customized. We also handle direct communication with Brookdale’s insurers and legal teams so you can focus on your recovery.

How to File a Lawsuit Against Brookdale Senior Living or a Third Party

If Brookdale’s negligence caused your injury, you may file a lawsuit for personal injury. In some cases, third parties may also share liability, such as equipment manufacturers or outside contractors.

Your case may involve:

• Filing an official notice of claim
• Gathering supporting medical and safety documentation
• Negotiating a settlement or preparing for trial

Legal representation is critical because non-subscriber employers often have strong defense teams. We ensure your voice is heard and your rights are protected.

Thoroughly Evaluating Liability in Brookdale Senior Living Work Injury Claims

Liability isn’t always straightforward. Brookdale may share responsibility with other entities involved in maintaining or operating its facilities. We carefully evaluate:

• Hiring and supervision practices
• Facility maintenance records
• Training logs and incident reports

A thorough evaluation helps determine all sources of liability and strengthens your position during negotiation or litigation.

Taking a Multi-Layered Legal Approach to Your Case

Our legal strategy includes both immediate and long-term steps. Early on, we gather evidence, secure medical evaluations, and file the initial legal documents.

Over time, we may bring in outside experts to conduct workplace analyses or testify on safety violations. We also explore settlement opportunities while preparing to take your case to court if necessary.
