When most people think of work injuries, they picture slips or falls in a retail store.
But across the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex, a growing number of non-subscriber injury cases are happening behind the scenes—in warehouses, stockrooms, and fulfillment centers.
Retail Isn’t the Only Danger Zone
At Sandoval & Armstrong, PLLC, we’ve seen a major shift in where workplace injuries are happening. While retail workers at Walmart, Target, Lowe’s, and H-E-B continue to file claims, there’s been a steady increase in injured workers from warehouse facilities—especially those connected to Amazon, Costco, Kroger, and other major retailers.
Texas Non-Subscribers Companies
These roles often involve:
- Heavy lifting
- Operating forklifts or pallet jacks
- Meeting intense performance quotas
- Working long shifts with limited breaks
Why It Matters If Your Employer Is a Non-Subscriber
If your employer is a non-subscriber in Texas, your claim isn’t handled through regular workers’ comp. Instead, you may be able to file a lawsuit against your employer for negligence—and they can’t claim you were at fault or that you “accepted the risk.”
This creates a strong opportunity to recover:
- Medical expenses
- Lost income
- Pain and suffering
- Future medical needs
