Texas Workers Compensation

Workers Compensation Attorneys serving Texas.

If you are injured on the job and your employer subscribes to Texas Workers Compensation insurance, that will often times be the only remedy you have even if your employer negligently caused your injury. 

Texas Third Party Workers Compensation Cases

If another party on your job site is even partly responsible for your accident, you can sue them under a theory of Third Party Liability.  Only an experienced Texas personal injury trial lawyer will understand how to seek out and uncover potentially liable third parties to sue so that you can recover more money for your injuries.

Do you have a third party negligence claim arising from your on-the-job injury, against a person or company other than your employer?  Third Party Cases occur when an injured worker can sue an at-fault person or company directly for their personal injury.  The worker is able to recover both workers compensation benefits, AND personal injury damages under this theory of recovery.

Texas Workers Compensation Nonsubscriber Cases

Additionally, if your employer does not subscribe to workers comp, and instead chooses to purchase alternative liability insurance or keep no insurance at all, you can sue them directly if they cause your on-the-job injury under the theory of Workers Compensation Nonsubscriber.

Texas is the only state in which employers are not required to carry workers' compensation insurance.  Because of this anomaly, around half of Texas employers are Non-Subscribers.  In a Texas Workers Compensation Non-Subscriber case you can sue your employer directly, and the law only requires you to prove that your employer was one percent liable to hold them accountable for your damages.

A non-subscriber case is very much like a traditional injury lawsuit, and the Texas Personal Injury Lawyers of Dax F. Garza, PC are experts in handling these claims.  Contact us today for help with your work-related injury case.
