The vast majority of employees in Texas are covered by workers' compensation, an insurance program that covers all occupational injuries and diseases. Texas employers must obtain workers' compensation insurance or must be large enough to self-insure for work injuries and illnesses.
Though virtually all work-related injuries are covered on a no-fault basis, meaning the worker does not need to prove that someone else was to blame to collect compensation, injured workers sometimes find it difficult to seek the benefits they deserve.
The following tips can help you through the often complex process of filing a workers' compensation claim and seeking fair benefits.

If you are an employee who has been injured at the workplace, you may be entitled to workers’ compensation benefits. In Texas, not all employers are required to offer workers’ compensation but can offer an alternative form of coverage for work-related injuries and illnesses if they become certified by TDI to self-insure.
Workers’ compensation is a program regulated by the state of Texas. Employees covered by workers’ compensation insurance receive benefits through their employer’s insurance.
Don’t risk losing your benefits. Tell your employer about your injury within 30 days. If you wait longer than this, then you may not be covered by workers’ compensation insurance. If your workers’ comp claim involves an illness rather than an injury, tell your employer within 30 days you discovered you had the illness.
Además de informar a su empresa, debe cumplimentar y enviar el formulario DWC-041 "Solicitud de indemnización del trabajador por accidente de trabajo o enfermedad profesional".
In addition to work-related injuries, workers' compensation considers other harm that could be suffered on the job, such as an illness or occupational disease.
An illness or disease that developed from long-term exposure to harmful toxins or chemicals at the workplace, for example, would qualify you for workers’ compensation. If you are suffering from lung disease, a heart condition, or even a stress-related digestive issue, you can seek workers' comp benefits for your illness.
An on-the-job injury alone is not a lawful ground for terminating someone’s employment. If you were fired because you filed a workers’ compensation claim, you can file a discrimination or wrongful termination claim, since retaliating against an injured worker is itself a form of employer negligence.
You may also be able to file this type of claim if your employer has altered your job duties or begun to treat you differently after your work injury/illness.
Provided that your employer provides workers’ compensation insurance and is part of a certified work comp healthcare network, then yes, you will have to choose your doctor in your employer’s network.
If you see another doctor regularly, check with them first to see if they treat patients receiving workers’ compensation. You can also ask your employer for a list of approved doctors.
Yes. One of the primary intentions of workers' compensation is to pay for the expenses accrued from medical bills, such as hospital fees and doctor visits. Essentially, any medical-related fee that can be tied back to the diagnosis and treatment of your work-related injury should be covered by workers' comp benefits.
In addition, your benefits should cover the cost of disability payments while you are out of work for recovery, as well as any rehabilitation that might be needed.
If you have to take time off of work to recover from your on-the-job injury or illness, then workers’ compensation benefits may include Temporary Income Benefits (TIB).
This does not apply in all situations. To learn if you are eligible, contact The Daspit Law Firm directly.
Generally speaking, workers' compensation benefits can be applied to most cases of on-the-job injuries; however, there are exceptions.
Assuming that your injury was sustained in a work-related accident, workers' compensation can be applied. This is also true of injuries that are sustained through the careless actions of another employee or your employer.
Sin embargo, la cobertura de la indemnización por accidente de trabajo puede denegarse en situaciones como las siguientes:
El proveedor de seguros de compensación de trabajadores de su empleador debe dar una razón para negar su reclamo.

Un abogado de Daspit Law Firm puede ayudarle a presentar esta apelación para obtener la cobertura que se merece.
