What should I do if I get hurt at work in Texas?

Report the injury to your employer immediately, seek medical treatment, document everything, and contact a work injury attorney to understand your legal options.

Does Texas require workers' compensation?

No. Texas is the only state that does not require private employers to carry workers' comp insurance. If your employer is a non-subscriber, you may be able to sue them directly.

Can I sue my employer for a work injury in Texas?

If your employer does not have workers' compensation coverage, you can file a personal injury lawsuit. You may also have a third-party claim if someone other than your employer caused your injury.
