Esto puede ser as\u00ed aunque hayas cometido una negligencia y hayas provocado en gran medida tu propia lesi\u00f3n.<\/p>\n<p>Como se\u00f1ala la Comisi\u00f3n de la Mano de Obra Texas, si su lesi\u00f3n entra dentro del programa de indemnizaci\u00f3n de los trabajadores, puede recibir una compensaci\u00f3n o reembolso, entre los que se incluyen los siguientes:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Atenci\u00f3n m\u00e9dica para su lesi\u00f3n sin coste para usted<\/li>\n<li>Reembolso de los gastos de viaje de ida y vuelta a una cita m\u00e9dica<\/li>\n<li>Sustituci\u00f3n del salario durante la incapacidad laboral<\/li>\n<li>Prestaciones a su familia en caso de fallecimiento por accidente laboral<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Tenga en cuenta que, a diferencia de otros estados, en Texas su empresa puede optar por no contratar un seguro de indemnizaci\u00f3n por accidente laboral. Sin embargo, muchos optan por hacerlo porque, al contratar el seguro, el empresario obtiene el beneficio de un l\u00edmite en la cuant\u00eda y el tipo de indemnizaci\u00f3n que debe pagarte si sufres lesiones.<\/p>\n<p><strong>La empresa puede decidir no indemnizar a los trabajadores<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Por ejemplo, si existe cobertura de indemnizaci\u00f3n por accidente laboral, no puede demandar a su empresa por da\u00f1os personales, como dolor y sufrimiento y p\u00e9rdida de calidad de vida, si sufre lesiones graves. Por el contrario, est\u00e1 sujeto a limitaciones en algunas de las formas de indemnizaci\u00f3n se\u00f1aladas anteriormente. Si la empresa decide no tener cobertura, usted puede demandarla si es responsable de sus lesiones, y la empresa perder\u00e1 tambi\u00e9n muchas de las defensas t\u00edpicas ante una demanda por lesiones personales.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Notificaci\u00f3n a la empresa y derecho a renunciar a la cobertura<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Cuando empez\u00f3 a trabajar, su empresario deber\u00eda haberle notificado si tiene cobertura de indemnizaci\u00f3n por accidente de trabajo. De hecho, debe informarle de otro derecho en el momento de la contrataci\u00f3n o poco despu\u00e9s. Usted, como empleado, puede renunciar a la cobertura si quiere conservar su derecho a demandar por lesiones personales, es decir, lesiones causadas por negligencia del empresario. No obstante, considere la opci\u00f3n cuidadosamente, porque la cobertura de las facturas m\u00e9dicas por compensaci\u00f3n de los trabajadores no estar\u00e1 disponible si renuncia a ella.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you experience an injury while working in Texas, there is a good chance you have plenty of rights under Texas\u2019 Workers\u2019 Compensation program.
