If a Team Lead Told Me to Keep Working After an Injury at a Walmart Warehouse, Can That Increase Walmart’s Responsibility?
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 ...

I Slipped in a Walmart Distribution Center Because of Shrink Wrap, Broken Pallets, or Debris – How Do I Prove It Wasn’t “Just an Accident”?
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.

Injuries that occur in Walmart trailer yards and dock areas often involve more than one moving part.

What If Walmart Warehouse Camera Footage “Disappears” or They Say It Was Overwritten — What Can My Lawyer Do?
After a serious injury at a Walmart warehouse or distribution center, video footage is often one of the most important pieces of evidence. Cameras may capture unsafe conditions, missing safety measures, or exactly how an incident occurred.

What Does It Mean When Walmart HR Says My Injury Is Being Handled Under an “Occupational Injury Plan” Instead of Workers’ Comp?
Many injured Walmart workers are surprised to learn that their injury is not being handled under Texas workers’ compensation. 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
If Walmart’s Report Says “Pre-Existing” Because I Once Had Back Pain, How Do I Prove This Injury Made It Worse?
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.
