A beam fell and hit me in the head at work. It had not been secured by the workers. I am now going to a doctor under Workman's Comp and need to know if I have the basis for a claim?

You have a lot of issues going on here, but to answer your primary question, you generally have two years from the date of injury in Texas to file a negligence cause of action. You may also have issues related to your worker's compensation claim and for those I would recommend you speak with a workers compensation lawyer.
