IF I GET INJURED AT WORK, HOW DO I KNOW IF I CAN FILE A LAWSUIT AGAINST MY EMPLOYER?

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?
