You May Be Able to Sue Macy’s for a Work-Related Injury in Texas
Every day, employees working at Macy’s locations across Texas perform physically demanding tasks—stocking merchandise, assisting customers, lifting heavy boxes, and more. Unfortunately, workplace accidents happen regularly, and many Macy’s workers are injured on the job due to unsafe conditions, lack of training, or negligence.
But did you know that, under Texas law, you may have the right to sue Macy’s if their negligence contributed to your injury?
At Sandoval Law Firm, we represent injured retail workers across Texas, including those employed by non-subscriber companies like Macy’s. We fight to ensure you receive the medical care, compensation, and justice you deserve after a workplace injury.
Is Macy’s a Non-Subscriber in Texas?
Yes. Macy’s is a non-subscriber employer in the State of Texas, meaning it has opted out of the traditional state-run workers’ compensation system. Instead, Macy’s uses a private insurance plan to handle workplace injury claims.
While this may limit some of the protections workers are used to, it also means Macy’s can be held legally liable in court if their negligence caused or contributed to your injury—even if they were just 1% at fault.
This opens the door for injured Macy’s employees to file a personal injury lawsuit, something that is not typically available in standard workers’ compensation cases.
Common Macy’s Work Injuries
Retail jobs may not seem dangerous at first glance, but Macy’s employees are often exposed to a variety of risks that can result in serious injuries, including:
- Slips, trips, and falls on wet or cluttered floors
- Back and shoulder injuries from lifting and stocking merchandise
- Repetitive strain injuries from scanning, typing, or cashier duties
- Injuries from falling objects or collapsing shelves
- Assaults or injuries from dealing with difficult or aggressive customers
- Accidents involving stockroom equipment or ladders
Whether your injury happened on the sales floor, in the stockroom, or while performing another assigned duty, you may have a case.
What Compensation Can You Pursue?
Unlike traditional workers’ comp, which limits benefits to partial wage replacement and basic medical care, a successful non-subscriber lawsuit can allow you to seek full compensation for:
- Medical bills and ongoing treatment
- 100% of lost wages (not just a percentage)
- Loss of earning capacity
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress
- Punitive damages (in cases of gross negligence)
