Even if your employer, the insurance company, and the doctors call it workers’ compensation, you might still have the right to file a lawsuit against your employer if their negligence caused your injury. Why? Because your employer could actually be a Texas Non-Subscriber! This means the company has its own insurance plan (not the standard Texas Workers’ Compensation) that provides benefits and covers injuries for employees while on the job. These are Non-Subscriber Employers.
Several well-known companies in Texas have their own insurance plans that cover workplace injuries. Some examples include: Stripes, Wal-Mart, Kroger, Academy, Home Depot, Target, La Michoacana Meat Market, HEB, and many others.
Texas Non-Subscriber lawyer Hector L. Sandoval has represented injured workers from various cities across Texas.
Figuring out if you have benefits can be a difficult process.
Often, employers are not eager to help or cooperate, making it harder for you to determine your rights. That’s why, if you’ve been injured on the job, it’s crucial to take the right steps to protect your ability to claim the benefits you deserve.
