Possibly. The answer depends significantly on whether your employer participates in traditional Texas workers’ compensation.
Employers that subscribe to workers’ compensation generally receive substantial protection from employee negligence lawsuits.
Non-subscriber employers can face a different legal framework.
If a Fort Worth employer does not carry Texas workers’ compensation and its negligence contributed to the accident, the injured employee may have legal options beyond benefits provided through an employer injury plan. An attorney can investigate the employer’s status and the circumstances that caused the accident.
