Without Legal Action, Why Are Injured Workers Doomed in Texas Non-Subscriber Claims?
Because non-subscriber employers and their insurance carriers have a playbook—and it rarely works in favor of the injured worker. At Sandoval Armstrong, we handle non-subscriber work injury cases across North Texas, and we’ve seen the same patterns emerge again and again.
These companies take immediate steps after a work injury that are designed to protect their interests—not yours. If you’re injured and don’t take legal action, chances are, you’re going to get the short end of the stick.
Why Do Companies Opt Out of the Texas Workers’ Compensation Program?
By opting out and becoming a non-subscriber in North Texas, companies give up protections from lawsuits that come with subscribing to the state program. Why would they do that? Simple—to reduce costs and avoid paying out benefits unless absolutely forced to.
Non-Subscribers Are Playing the Numbers Game
Under the official Texas Workers’ Compensation system, companies must pay out for all on-the-job injuries, whether there was negligence or not. But with non-subscriber status, they only have to pay if you can prove negligence.
That means if you’re hurt in a no-fault accident while on the job, they can—and likely will—deny your claim. It’s not about fairness. It’s about limiting liability and cutting costs. No negligence = no compensation.
Limiting Payouts: The Real Goal
Even when there is a legitimate negligence case, the insurance company and employer team up quickly to downplay their responsibility, limit your treatment, and delay benefits. Their hope? That you give up and go away quietly.
- They suggest you don’t need a lawyer.
- They promise they’re “working on it.”
- They offer inadequate treatment or delay it altogether.
If this strategy works, they’ve succeeded—and the injured worker loses.
In North Texas Non-Subscriber Cases, You Can’t Afford to Wait
The moment you’re injured, the company and their insurer are working to protect themselves. If you wait to take legal action, it only makes their job easier and your recovery harder.
You need someone on your side from the start.
