Workers’ compensation claims are very different from Walmart non-subscriber claims in Texas. In a traditional workers’ compensation case, the injured worker cannot sue their employer directly, and benefits are typically limited to medical expenses and a portion of lost wages. The system is designed to protect employers from lawsuits while providing basic benefits to employees.
In contrast, in a Walmart non-subscriber case, the company has opted out of the standard system and created its own private plan. This means employees may not receive the same guaranteed protections as they would under workers’ comp. However, because Walmart is a non-subscriber, injured workers have the right to file a negligence lawsuit directly against the company if unsafe working conditions contributed to their injury.
This difference is critical. In a non-subscriber claim, injured employees can pursue broader categories of compensation, including medical expenses, full lost wages, pain and suffering, and future damages. These are benefits that are often unavailable in standard workers’ compensation cases.
