Bringing a Lawsuit Against Your Employer

How were you injured at work?

• Struck by falling object
• Crush injury using heavy machinery
• Exposure to dangerous chemicals
• Electrocution
• Falling from a height
• Assaulted by coworker or customer

No matter how you were hurt at work, you might have to file a lawsuit against your employer to pursue compensation. This circumstance unfolds when your employer does not have any workers’ compensation insurance that covers you as their employer. Texas law does not require employers to purchase workers’ comp, but this leaves them open to answering lawsuits directly, rather than redirecting them to an insurance company to handle.

Due to the added benefit of lawsuit protection, most employers purchase workers’ compensation. However, sometimes an employer has workers’ comp insurance but you are still not covered due to employment technicalities — are you an independent contractor? Or, if there was egregious and willful wrongdoing that led to your injury, a claim brought against your employer or a third party, like another employee, might be warranted.
