Do not assume that your employer carries Texas workers’ compensation simply because an insurance company or benefit administrator contacts you after an accident.
Texas employers can have different forms of workplace injury coverage. Some participate in traditional workers’ compensation, while others may provide occupational injury benefits without subscribing to the state workers’ compensation system.
An attorney can investigate the employer’s status and review the documents provided after your accident. Knowing the employer’s coverage is important because it can affect available benefits, potential negligence claims, deadlines, medical treatment, and how the case should be handled.
