Texas Workers’ Compensation Rules

In most states, workers’ compensation is guaranteed to practically all employees. But this is not the case in Texas. Currently, Texas is the only state in the country that does not require employers to purchase workers’ compensation insurance in most situations.

If your employer does not have workers’ compensation insurance, then you will have to file an injury claim against them and any other liable party if you get hurt at work. This process can be trickier because you will have to prepare a case that proves you did not cause your own injury. However, you are in luck now that you are here at Morris & Dewett Injury Lawyers. In addition to being great workers’ compensation attorneys, we are also accomplished personal injury lawyers, so you can depend on our team regardless of your workers’ compensation coverage or lack thereof.

When You Do Have Workers’ Compensation

Many employers in Texas opt to buy workers’ compensation insurance for their employees even though it is not required. They want to protect their personal and business finances from an injury claim or lawsuit, which is what workers’ comp insurance is designed to do. With that said, it is likely that you do have workers’ compensation if you are employed in Fort Worth, especially if you work for a recognizable or sizeable company.

If you do have workers’ compensation coverage, then your case will probably involve:

The nice thing about workers’ compensation coverage is that it is based on a no-fault system. Liability is not directly taken into question for workers’ compensation cases. You could admit to causing your workplace accident and still be completely eligible for coverage.

What Coverage Does Workers’ Comp Provide?

Your workers’ compensation benefits will likely provide for:

Want to Get Back to Work? We Can Help

Most people who suffer a workplace injury just want to rest, heal, and get back to their careers. But you will not be able to do that if you are not supported as you deserve. Let our Fort Worth workers’ compensation attorneys handle your case from start to finish, so you can feel confident that you are getting the benefits you deserve with as little extra stress on your shoulders as possible.
