What Can You Claim in a Texas Nonsubscriber Cases that You Cannot in a Workers’ Comp Case?
The Lead Attorney from Sandoval Law Firm Explains the Two Workers’ Compensation Cases: Subscriber vs. Non-Subscriber
[TEXAS, Wednesday, June 20, 2023] /Noticias Newswire/ - If you’ve been injured on the job in Texas, you need to do your research and determine if your employer is a Texas Workers’ Compensation “Subscriber” or a “Nonsubscriber”. If you work for a “Big Box” company store or warehouse distribution center, there’s a good chance that your employer is a Texas Non-Subscriber.
The Texas Worker’s Compensation case is an informal claim wherein you have the ability to fight for benefits but you are limited exclusively to what you can get under the worker’s compensation laws. The Texas Non-Subscriber Compensation case (No Workers’ Compensation but has an ERISA Plan) is vastly different because its existence is founded on saving money and expenses for the employer and insurance company that they are normally not able to save under the Texas worker’s compensation program.
Understanding the difference between a Texas Non-Subscriber case and a Texas Workers’ compensation case is crucial to understanding what rights you have so that you can do what is necessary to:
- Receive the medical care you need;
- Receive wage support payments that you may be entitled to; and
- Hold your employer responsible for any additional damages they may have caused.
In Texas nonsubscriber cases, injured employees have the option to pursue a personal injury lawsuit against their employer. In such cases, there are several types of damages that an injured worker can potentially claim that are not available in a workers' compensation case.
