Injured Workers at Warehouse and Fulfillment Centers
As e-commerce expands and the demand for faster shipping increases, warehouse and fulfillment centers in Dallas, Fort Worth, Plano, Arlington, and surrounding areas are busier than ever. With that comes more pressure, more productivity quotas, and more risk.
Unfortunately, many of the major employers operating these facilities—including Amazon, Kroger, Walmart, H-E-B, and Costco—are North Texas non-subscribers, meaning they’ve opted out of the state’s traditional workers’ comp system.
Texas Non-Subscribers Companies
What Is a Texas Non-Subscriber?
A non-subscriber employer chooses not to participate in the official Texas Workers’ Compensation program. While this saves them money, it puts workers at greater legal risk. In return, non-subscriber employers can be sued for injuries caused by negligence, and they lose several legal defenses such as “assumption of risk.”
This is great news for injured employees—but only if they act quickly and work with an attorney who understands how to navigate non-subscriber claims.
Common Injuries in Warehouses and Fulfillment Centers
