Texas Worker’s Compensation Claims
An employer that is officially a subscriber to the Texas Worker’s Compensation System is only obligated to pay an injured worker worker’s compensation benefits. In many cases, worker’s compensation benefits are not sufficient to pay all this bills.
Many employer’s claim that they are official Worker’s Compensation Subscribers. However, while they purchased an insurance policy that calls itself “worker’s compensation,” it is really a low cost unofficial coverage that does not entitle the employer to the protections of the worker’s compensation system. In these situations, the employer is a “non-subscriber”. Injured workers have far more rights against a non-subscriber than a regular worker’s compensation subscriber. The best way to determine if an employer is a subscriber is to run a check, not take the employer’s word for it. Click here for more information regarding Worker’s Compensation Third Party cases.
Even if your employer is a worker’s compensation subscriber, it is also possible to obtain additional money from responsible third parties. Click here for more information regarding Texas Worker’s Compensation Third Party lawsuits.
It is critical that injured workers who feel that they’re getting the run around from a workers compensation insurance adjuster to immediately contact an attorney. In many cases, the workers compensation adjuster only wishes to pay as little benefits as possible. Such adjusters have received years of training regarding how to reduce or eliminate your claim. This is why we strongly advise that you retain a lawyer to protect your rights.
