Non-Subscriber Work Injury Claims – Walmart

Representation for Walmart Employees in San Antonio

Texas is the only state in the nation that allows employers to opt out of workers’ compensation requirements, replacing them with a personalized insurance plan provided by the employer to eligible employees. Out of all the companies in the state that have decided to become a “non-subscriber” to workers’ comp, Walmart is likely the biggest name among them. Employees working for Walmart are not covered by traditional workers’ compensation, which makes filing a work injury claim more difficult.

Work Injuries at Walmart

As the largest retailer in the world, Walmart is a company known for staying busy. Each store seems to always have hundreds of customers and employees moving through it at any given time. The busy atmosphere can sometimes lead to dangerous situations that result in a work accident and injury.

Accidents that may occur at a busy Walmart include:

• Slip and fall accidents
• Struck by falling objects from top stock locations
• Back injuries from lifting heavy merchandise
• Parking lot accidents between a vehicle and a worker

No matter the details of your accident while working at Walmart in San Antonio, you have the right to pursue compensation and coverage. Walmart is a non-subscriber, but it still must give you some sort of insurance coverage to account for on-the-job accidents. The amount of coverage and why it is provided, though, is determined by Walmart. You are likely eligible for coverage that helps pay for medical expenses and lost wages.

How to File a Walmart Non-Subscriber Claim

The reason why Walmart is a non-subscriber to typical workers’ compensation rules is that it wants to control and oversee how its employees are compensated after a work-related accident. To this end, you can expect the process to receive benefits will not be in your favor as the injured worker. You need to do all you can to help improve your chances of filing a successful claim.

You should always do the following when filing a Walmart non-subscriber claim:

• Tell a supervisor or manager about your work-related accident as soon as possible. Waiting longer than 30 days could void your claim entirely.
• Collect any information provided by your supervisor about how to proceed with your claim and interact with Walmart’s insurer. Follow the instructions to the letter. Otherwise, your claim could be voided.
• Contact our San Antonio Walmart work injury attorneys as soon as you get this information from your supervisor. We are here to help you properly fill out all requested information and file it accordingly. In case Walmart pushes back and tries to undervalue your claim, we will be ready to represent you.
