How does H-E-B. Workers Comp Work?
H.E.B. is a Texas non-subscriber employer. An H.E.B. workers’ comp claim can result in payment for all your accident-related medical expenses. H.E.B. employees injured while on the job in Texas can also receive benefits to cover lost wages while they’re temporarily or permanently out of work.

However, you might be eligible for these benefits through a personal injury claim.
Is H-E-B. Self-Insured for Workers Compensation in Texas?
Many large employers (including H.E.B.) do not carry workers’ compensation insurance in Texas. Being self-insured allows these employers much more control over what benefits they will give.
How Long do I Have to Wait to Start an H-E-B. Workman’s Comp Claim in Texas?
A Workers’ Compensation claim must be made within six months of the date of injury or incident. The sooner you start the claim, the better. In other words, the more you allow your employer to delay the process, the harder it will be on you and your family down the road.
Why Would a Workers Comp Doctor Lie About my Injury while Working at H-E-B?
Workers’ Compensation doctors are really doctors that do a job and get paid by insurance companies. They will only provide treatment, regardless of what they feel is necessary, if the insurance company approves treatment. Some doctors are strictly hired to provide opinions about the necessity of future treatment. They also are paid by the insurance companies. The goal of all insurance companies is to pay as little as possible.

Do I Get Full Pay by H-E-B if Injured at Work and Unable to Work?

Can you Collect Workers Comp for Life if Suffered Serious Work Injuries?
