Texas law doesn’t require businesses to carry worker’s compensation insurance.
If the business had worker’s compensation, the injury or death that took place on the business premise would be covered.
Because companies are allowed to opt out of carrying this type of coverage, injured employees can seek compensation directly from their employer.
However, in most cases, employers who are non-subscribers to worker’s compensation try to deny responsibility for employee-injuries. But, if you’ve been hurt while on the job, you may be entitled to compensation which includes lost wages, pain and suffering and medical expenses.
