Pleasanton is the county seat of Atascosa County, located about 30 miles south of San Antonio along Highway 281. The local economy depends on industries that carry real physical risk, and the chance of a workers comp injury is high in oil and gas operations tied to the Eagle Ford Shale, cattle ranching, agricultural farming, and construction. Workers in these fields face serious hazards daily, from oilfield equipment accidents to falls on farm or ranch property. When something goes wrong, knowing your legal options matters.

What Should You Do After a Workers Comp Injury in Pleasanton, TX?
Reporting your injury quickly and following the right steps can protect your entire claim. Here is what injured workers in Atascosa County typically need to do:
- Seek medical attention right away and keep all records of your treatment.
- Report your injury to your employer as soon as possible, ideally in writing.
- Ask whether your employer carries Texas workers' compensation insurance or is a non-subscriber.
- Document everything, including photos, witness names, and any incident reports.
- Contact a workers comp injury attorney before giving recorded statements to any insurance adjuster.
Time limits apply under Texas law. Delays in reporting or filing can put your benefits at risk.
What Benefits May Be Available After a Work Injury in Pleasanton?
Injured workers in Texas may be entitled to income replacement benefits while unable to work, coverage for reasonable and necessary medical treatment, impairment income benefits for permanent impairment, and supplemental income benefits for longer-term disabilities. A qualified workers comp injury attorney can help you identify which benefits apply to your situation and make sure nothing is left on the table.
Non-Subscriber Employers in Atascosa County
Texas is the only state that allows employers to opt out of the workers' compensation system. These non-subscribers are not uncommon in oilfield services, ranching, and agricultural businesses throughout Atascosa County. If your employer is a non-subscriber and you are injured on the job, you may have the right to pursue a personal injury lawsuit directly against them, which can sometimes result in broader recovery options than traditional workers' comp claims.
