In Texas, it is not mandatory for employers to carry workers’ compensation insurance coverage. Not only are employers who go without coverage taking a risk for themselves, they are also placing their workers at risk in the event they suffer an injury.
If your employer fails to carry workers’ compensation insurance, does that mean you are unable to recover anything in the event of an on-the-job injury? Not necessarily. They key is having San Antonio nonsubscriber injury on your side who understand workers’ compensation and personal injury law in order to uncover all sources of compensation.

At The Law Offices of Miller & Bicklein, P.C., we have been handling personal injury and workers’ compensation claims in San Antonio and West Texas since 1994.
If your employer is without workers’ comp coverage, you may be able to demonstrate that it was negligent in its actions. That would open the door to a personal injury claim against your employer for medical expenses, pain and suffering, lost income and other damages.
Some employment contracts have an arbitration clause which requires employees to go to arbitration rather than taking their employer to court in the event of a dispute. If you are going through arbitration it is still in your best interest to have a lawyer looking out for your rights.
