Non-Subscriber Work Injury Claims – Walmart

Our Victoria Work Injury Lawyers Represent Walmart Employees

Did you know that in the state of Texas, employers are allowed to opt out of workers’ compensation? In fact, Texas is the only state in the country where companies are allowed to replace workers’ comp. programs with personalized insurance plans. This practice is known as being a “non-subscriber” to workers’ compensation, and is particularly well-known or being adopted by Walmart. This means that if you are a Walmart employee in the state of Texas, it may be difficult for you to file a work injury claim.

Because Walmart is a “non-subscriber,” the company has strict rules for filing work-related injury claims. Fortunately, our skilled attorneys at Daspit Law Firm are here to guide you through every step of the non-subscriber work injury claim process. Our legal team strongly believes that if you have been injured at work, you deserve to be compensated, regardless of Walmart’s status as a non-subscriber.

Our lawyers provide assistance to a range of Walmart employees, including:

• Cashiers
• Stockroom workers
• Merchandisers
• Managers
• Greeters
• Baggers

What Should I Do If I Have Been Injured at Walmart?

Walmart is the largest retailer in the United States, and therefore its stores are always extremely busy—and potentially hazardous—places. With thousands of customers and employees moving in and out of Walmart stores every day, it is no surprise that workers experience the occasional injury.

You may want to hire an attorney if you have been at Walmart and experienced:

• A slip and fall accident
• An injury from falling objects in the stock room
• Back injuries related to lifting heavy merchandise
• A parking lot accident resulting from a collision with a vehicle

If you have been injured while working at a Walmart in Victoria, TX, you still have the right to pursue compensation. Remember, even though Walmart is a non-subscriber, it is required by law to provide you with insurance coverage for at-work injuries. If Walmart’s coverage is inadequate to pay for your medical bills and lost wages, you may want to hire an attorney.

The Walmart Non-Subscriber Claim Process

Walmart’s status as a non-subscriber gives the company more control over the way employees are compensated than they would have if they provided traditional workers’ comp. coverage. In other words, Walmart is unfortunately more concerned with looking out for their bottom line than they are in providing you with full coverage for medical expenses. This is why if you work at Walmart, or anywhere else, it’s important to hire an experienced attorney before attempting to file a non-subscriber work injury claim.

If you are planning to file a Walmart non-subscriber injury claim, you should:

• Alert your boss of your work-related injury as soon as an incident occurs. Waiting to tell your employer about a work injury for more than 30 days could negate your chances of receiving compensation.
• Collect relevant information from your supervisor or manager about the best way to move forward with your claim and deal with Walmart’s insurance provider. If you do not follow Walmart and the insurer’s guidelines, your claim may be voided entirely.
• Call our Victoria Walmart work injury lawyers as soon as you have collected information from all relevant parties. From there, our legal counsel will assist you in filling out and filing all requested information, and if necessary, fight to secure compensation from Walmart on your behalf.
