Answer:
In Texas, if you’re injured on the job and your employer carries Workers’ Compensation insurance, that’s your only avenue of relief. Texas protects employers in that instance.
You can’t sue them for their negligence; you can only recover Workers’ Compensation benefits, which includes getting your medical expenses taken care of, getting a portion of your wages taken care of, and when a determination is made about the extent of your injury there are various forms of relief, either getting payments for a period of time or lump sum payments. If you’ve been injured on the job and there’s Workers’ Compensation available, you need to act quickly.
