Understanding Your Rights After a Work Injury in Texas

Texas law for work injuries is complicated. Unlike in many other states, private employers in Texas can choose whether or not to carry workers’ compensation insurance.

  • If your employer has workers’ comp: You are generally entitled to medical and income benefits, but you usually cannot sue your employer for negligence, even if they caused your injury.
  • If your employer is a “Non-Subscriber” (no workers’ comp): You have the right to file a personal injury lawsuit directly against your employer to recover full compensation for your medical bills, all of your lost wages, and your pain and suffering.

Our firm will investigate your employer’s insurance status and advise you on the best legal path forward.

What if a Third Party Caused Your Injury?

Sometimes, your injury was caused by the negligence of someone other than your direct employer. This is called a “third-party claim.” For example, on a busy construction site, a worker for a different subcontractor might cause your injury, or a piece of equipment you were using might be defective. In these situations, you can file a personal injury lawsuit against that negligent third party, even if your employer has workers’ compensation. This is often the key to getting full and fair compensation for your injuries.
