Work Injury Lawyer in Houston Helps File Non-Subscriber Claims

If you are injured at work and your employer does not subscribe to worker’s compensation insurance, you may need a work injury lawyer in Houston to assist you with filing a non-subscriber claim. Non-subscriber workplace injury claims are particularly difficult to manage, especially without professional help. Marc Whitehead & Associates are well-versed in the requirements of Texas worker’s compensation laws and understand how to bring pressure on employers who attempt to avoid workplace injury claims.

The State of Texas requires employers who do not subscribe to worker’s compensation to maintain an injury benefits insurance policy, and these employers also have strict reporting requirements:

They must report their lack of coverage to the Texas Department of Insurance Department of Worker’s Compensation and to the employee upon the employee’s hiring.

If they have five or more employees, they must report all work-related illnesses or injuries to the TDI-DWC They must report their lack of coverage in writing to the employee upon hire and post the same information in a conspicuous place in the workplace

Failure to comply with the reporting requirements subject the employer to penalties.
