Workers’ Compensation Requirements in Texas
State law concerning work injuries is distinct from that of many other states. Many states require employers to maintain workers’ compensation insurance, but Texas does not have such a requirement. As a result, many injured employees are uncertain about their rights when accidents occur. Frequently, injured workers are not even certain if their employer carries workers’ compensation insurance. We handle a wide range of work injury claims, including:
Our Texas attorneys could also help you sue your company if they don’t have workers’ compensation benefits.
