Texas workplace injury law is unique — particularly for employees of non-subscriber employers who have powerful civil remedies unavailable in most states. This guide helps injured workers maximize their rights.
Texas Non-Subscriber Employer System
Because Texas doesn't mandate workers' compensation, injured employees of non-subscribing employers can sue for negligence without the damage caps and restrictions of the workers' comp system. Texas Labor Code §406.033 further prohibits common law defenses.
What Full Compensation Includes
- All past and future medical expenses
- Lost wages and future earning capacity
- Pain and suffering
- Disfigurement
- Loss of consortium
- Punitive damages in egregious cases
