WORKERS’ COMPENSATION
For a free legal consultation with a workplace accidents lawyer serving Round Rock, call 800-863-5312
In Texas, employers are not required to participate in workers’ compensation insurance coverage, but they do have the option to do so. Whether or not your employer participates in Texas’s workers’ comp program can impact your ability to sue to seek compensation for any injuries you may have sustained while on the job. Workers whose employers do participate in workers’ compensation insurance may be unable to sue their employers for personal injury, even if their injuries were caused by the employer’s negligent behavior. Instead, all claims must be made through the workers’ compensation insurer.

However, even if an employer carries workers’ comp coverage, you may still be able to file suit to seek compensation for your injuries in certain circumstances. If the accident was caused by the negligence of a third-party contractor or outside party, you may be able to file a claim seeking compensation from that third party. If the accident was caused by faulty equipment, you may be able to file a claim against the manufacturer. Further, if the accident occurred on property not owned by the employer, you may be able to file a claim against the property owner. Finally, if your employer does not participate in workers’ compensation coverage, you may be able to file a claim against your employer if the accident was caused by the employer’s negligent behavior. A workplace injury attorney in Round Rock may be able to help you determine who may be liable.
