Accidents are common at workplaces, such as construction sites, manufacturing sites, or warehouses. But many of these employers, including big box stores for Amazon, Lowe’s, Walmart, Kroger, and Home Depot, are not subscribers of the workers’ compensation program in Texas. At the Law Offices of Dean Malone, we represent workers and the families of workers who have been seriously hurt or killed in on-the-job accidents in Texas when the employer is not a workers’ comp participant.
If an injured person's employer does not offer worker's compensation coverage, the employer can be sued or have claims made against them through arbitration. Our work injury attorney will determine when a lawsuit or arbitration is appropriate. Some Texas employers have separate insurance for work injury claims but may still be subject to a lawsuit or arbitration case.
