Representing Non-Subscriber Workplace Injury Victims
Not all Texas employers carry workers' compensation insurance to protect employees injured as a result of on-the-job accidents. In Texas, there are both subscribers and non-subscribers. If your employer is a non-subscriber, you could benefit from having an experienced trial attorney on your side as you seek compensation for your workplace injuries.

Subscriber Claims Versus Non-Subscriber Claims
In Texas, subscriber claims are the most common type of workplace injury claim. When an employee is injured at work and their employer carries workers' compensation insurance, they can file a workers' compensation claim. In subscriber cases, employees are not able to bring lawsuits directly against their employer.
A non-subscriber is an employer who does not carry workers' compensation insurance, making workers' compensation claims by their employees invalid. If a non-subscriber's employee is injured, they are able to bring a negligence claim directly against their employer. In these cases, an employer only needs to be proven to be 1 percent at fault in order to be guilty of negligence.
There are a few industries in Texas that tend to have more non-subscribing employers such as grocery store chains and trucking companies. If your employer is a non-subscriber, the attorneys of Perdue & Kidd, L.L.P. will work diligently to ensure you receive the full compensation you deserve for your injuries.
