Non-Subscriber Cases - Houston
The Texas Workers Compensation act was designed by the Texas Legislature to encourage employers to purchase (subscribe) Workers' Compensation Insurance. Workers' Compensation (or Workers Comp.) allows for an injured employee to receive medical treatment and lost wages in a timely matter following an on the job injury. In return for obtaining Worker’s Compensation insurance, an employer is protected from most lawsuits.
In addition to the incentives described above, the Texas Legislature has also included penalties for an employers failure to subscribe to workers compensation insurance (non-subscribers). Specifically, under Texas Law, an injured employee is required only to show that his actions were not the sole cause of his injuries. In essence, the Worker Compensation Act was designed to punish employers that decide not to subscribe.
