A: A Texas attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for two weeks. At this point, you could reach out to workers' comp attorneys to discuss your matter, since your injury took place in the course of employment. An experienced attorney should be able to outline any other causes of action, such as those involving the shoplifter. Try to arrange a free initial consult with attorneys. They should be able to answer your questions about medical bills, lost wages, and other issues. Good luck
