In Texas, most employers are required to carry workers’ compensation insurance to protect their employees in case of work-related injuries or illnesses. This insurance provides benefits such as medical care, wage replacement, and rehabilitation, all without the need for litigation. However, some employers choose to be non-subscribers, opting out of the state workers’ compensation system. 

What Does It Mean to Be a Non-Subscriber? 

Non-subscribing employers do not provide workers’ compensation insurance to their employees. While legal, this choice means that injured workers lose many protections and streamlined benefits that the workers' compensation system provides. Instead, injured employees must rely on traditional personal injury lawsuits to seek compensation for their injuries. 

This can make the process of recovering benefits more complex and challenging for workers in Beaumont who suffer workplace injuries while employed by a non-subscriber. 

Workers’ Compensation Benefits vs. Non-Subscriber Claims 

Workers’ Compensation Benefits typically include: 

• Coverage for medical bills related to the injury 
• Weekly income benefits to replace lost wages 
• Disability benefits if the injury causes long-term impairment 
• Vocational rehabilitation and retraining, if necessary 
• Protection from being sued by the employer in most cases 

These benefits are designed to provide quick and specific relief without the need for a lengthy court battle. 

For Injured Workers of Non-Subscribers: 

• You may need to file a personal injury lawsuit to recover damages 
• The employer can be sued for negligence, which means you must prove their fault 
• Compensation can potentially cover a broader range of damages, including pain and suffering and punitive damages 
• The process may take longer and involve more legal complexities
