Many Walmart warehouse workers are injured and then told by a team lead or supervisor to “push through,” “finish the shift,” or “see how it feels.” At the time, this may seem routine or even supportive. Legally, however, being instructed to continue working after an injury can significantly increase Walmart’s responsibility —especially under Texas non-subscriber law. Because Walmart controls ...

Slip-and-fall injuries inside Walmart distribution centers are often brushed off as unavoidable or blamed on bad luck. Workers are frequently told it was “just an accident.” But under Texas non-subscriber law, accidents are rarely analyzed that simply. When a slip is caused by shrink wrap, broken pallets, debris, or poor housekeeping, it often points to preventable safety failures. Because ... Continue Reading
Injuries that occur in Walmart trailer yards and dock areas often involve more than one moving part. Workers may be struck by equipment, injured by dock plates, or hurt while loading and unloading trailers that are owned, maintained, or operated by different entities. As a result, injured workers are often unsure whether their case is strictly a Walmart non-subscriber claim—or whether a ... Continue Reading

Instead, HR may say the claim falls under an “Occupational Injury Plan.” While this can sound routine, the distinction is extremely important—especially because Walmart is a non-subscriber in Texas. Understanding what this plan really is—and what it is not—can make a ... Continue Reading
One of the most common defenses Walmart raises after a warehouse or distribution center injury is that the condition was “pre-existing.” Many injured workers hear this after mentioning prior back pain, a chiropractor visit, or an old strain. But under Texas non-subscriber law, a prior condition does not automatically defeat a claim—especially when a work injury clearly made it worse. Because ... Continue Reading
When workers are injured loading or unloading trailers at a Walmart distribution center, the blame is often shifted onto the injured employee. But what happens when the danger was created by another shift before you even started working? In Texas non-subscriber cases, shift-to-shift negligence can be a critical legal issue—and it can significantly strengthen your claim against Walmart. Below is ... Continue Reading
