When you’ve been hurt on the job, your first thoughts, once you’ve received medical attention, are typically about your eligibility for workers’ compensation benefits. Texas takes a somewhat different approach to workers’ comp, allowing employers to choose whether or not to subscribe to the state’s workers’ compensation system. If they do, you’ll file a workers’ comp claim with your employer’s insurance carrier. If not, you’ll have to file a personal injury lawsuit in civil court. Nearly 80% of all employers in Texas choose to subscribe to workers’ compensation, so it’s likely that you’ll need assistance filing a work comp claim. The attorneys at Bailey & Galyen can help.
