If you get injured on the job, whether you are able to file a lawsuit against your employer depends on a couple of things. First, you must first be able to identify if your employer is Texas Workers’ Compensation Subscriber or, if they are Texas Non-Subscriber? Second, you have to be able to determine if you’re employer’s NEGLIGENCE caused your injury.

If your employer has Texas Workers’ Compensation, then, the general rule is that you cannot file a lawsuit against your employer for any negligence that caused your injury. One of the fundamental differences between an injured worker’s rights under Worker’s Compensation and under a Non-Subscriber policy is that if your employer has Workers’ Compensation, even if your employer was negligent in causing your injury, you cannot sue your employer. Your exclusive rights are found under Texas Worker’s Compensation law.

If your employer is a Texas Non-Subscriber, you have a right to file a lawsuit against your employer if your injury resulted from failing to provide with a reasonably safe workplace. In other words, it matters if your employer’s Negligence caused your injury. In a Non-Subscriber case. You are not restricted to the remedies you have under Texas Workers’ Compensation laws.
