If you or a family member received burn treatment at Medical City Plano's Burn and Reconstructive Center, your medical records are critical evidence in a Texas burn injury claim. Texas's 2-year statute of limitations under Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code § 16.003 means acting promptly is essential.
The Medical City Plano Burn and Reconstructive Center in Plano is an ABA-verified burn treatment facility operated by HCA Healthcare's Medical City Healthcare network — one of the largest hospital systems in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. The center provides comprehensive acute burn care and reconstructive surgery for burn patients from Plano, the broader Collin County area, Frisco, McKinney, Allen, and the rapidly growing northern DFW communities. As a burn and reconstructive center with explicit reconstructive surgery capabilities, Medical City Plano is well-positioned to manage both the acute and the long-term restorative care of serious burn injuries.
Plano and Collin County represent one of the fastest-growing and most prosperous suburban communities in the United States — but the area is also home to major corporate campuses, extensive construction activity, and significant industrial operations along the US-75 and SH-121 corridors that create burn risk for workers throughout the region.
Texas workers' compensation is elective — if your employer is a non-subscriber, you can sue your employer directly for full negligence damages without the workers' comp exclusive remedy bar. For subscribing employers, third-party claims against contractors, equipment manufacturers, chemical suppliers, and property owners remain available. The statute of limitations is 2 years under Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code § 16.003. Contact a Texas burn injury attorney immediately to determine your employer's subscriber status and protect all your rights.
Construction site electrical burns in the Plano area create potential claims against multiple parties. If your direct employer is a workers' comp subscriber, workers' comp covers your employer but third-party claims remain. Common third-party defendants in construction electrical burns include: the general contractor (for inadequate site safety coordination), the property owner or developer (for unsafe site conditions), the equipment manufacturer (if defective tools or PPE contributed), and the electrical system designer or engineer (for design defects). Texas OSHA violations, inadequate lockout/tagout programs, and failure to protect workers in the electrical hazard zone are all documented in OSHA investigations — which should be requested immediately as evidence.

Two years from the date of injury under Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code § 16.003. Claims against Texas state or local governmental entities require a written Notice of Claim within 6 months under the Texas Tort Claims Act — missing this deadline can bar your claim entirely regardless of the 2-year statute. Texas workers' comp claims require injury reporting within 30 days and formal filing within 1 year. Contact a Texas burn injury attorney immediately for a free case evaluation to identify all applicable deadlines in your specific case.
Arc flash burns in data centers create some of the most serious electrical injury claims, and North Texas's major data center concentration makes this a significant issue. If you are a contractor employee, the data center operator is likely a third-party defendant — not covered by your employer's workers' comp exclusivity. Arc flash cases involve NFPA 70E compliance, OSHA electrical safety standards, and the adequacy of arc flash hazard analysis and PPE requirements. The data center operator's failure to maintain an adequate electrical safety program, provide current one-line diagrams, or require appropriate PPE are all bases for third-party negligence claims. These cases often produce significant verdicts due to the severity of arc flash burns. Get a free case evaluation immediately.
