Texas nonsubscriber companies do not participate in the workers comp program
The Texas Department of Insurance oversees the Division of Workers' Compensation. Employers that participate in the system receive certain immunities from lawsuits in exchange for ensuring injured workers receive compensation after accidents. In Texas, many companies are not required to obtain workers compensation insurance. Employers — referred to as nonsubscribers — that do not have workers compensation can be sued for full damage awards in the civil courts.
Receiving medical care while you pursue payment for injuries
Workers compensation provides workers with access to immediate medical care. Houston workplace injury lawyer Shane R. Kadlec believes that all workers should be given this benefit regardless of whether their employers participate in the government-regulated program. Shane refers his clients to skilled medical professionals who delay billing for comprehensive medical treatment until conclusion of their civil lawsuits.
