Q: On 8/10/16 my brother suffered from sever dehydration and a heat stroke while at work.
His coworkers did nothing to help him, they just left him there on the ground. He was some how able to call a close friend to go drive the worksite and render aid to him. He was suffering sever cramps and could not move. His friend got there and saw him in very bad shape so he immediately called 911, since my coworkers could not even do that for him. The ambulance took him to the hospital where he was admitted and kept for a day. The next day his boss let him go and has refused to file a worker's comp claim or pay the ambulance and hospital bills. What recourse does he have?
A: Contact a member of the Texas Trial Lawyers Assn who handles workers comp and construction site injuries. They give free consultations.
