Depending on eligibility and circumstances, benefits may include medical care and different forms of income benefits. Death and burial benefits may also be available when an employee dies because of a qualifying work-related injury or illness.
How long do I have to report a work injury in Texas?
Texas generally requires an employee to report a work-related injury to the employer within 30 days. A workers’ compensation claim generally must also be filed with the Division of Workers’ Compensation within one year.
What happens if my workers’ compensation claim is denied?
A disputed claim may be challenged through Texas workers’ compensation dispute procedures. Medical evidence, employment records, accident information, and evidence connecting the injury to work may become important.
Can I sue if my employer does not have workers’ compensation insurance?
Potential legal options may differ when a Texas employer is a non-subscriber. Whether a lawsuit is available depends on the circumstances, how the injury occurred, and other legal factors.
