Texas Workers’ Compensation

If you have been injured on the job in Texas, you may be able to file a claim for workers’ compensation.  The Texas Department of Insurance, Division of Workers’ Compensation regulates the delivery of workers’ compensation benefits to injured workers and eligible family members.  This state agency also assists in resolving workers’ compensation disputes.

Workers’ compensation is an insurance program that provides benefits when you are injured at work or have developed a work-related illness.  The compensation is designed to pay your medical expenses and a portion of your lost income.  To receive workers’ comp benefits, your employer must have a workers’ compensation insurance policy under the Texas Workers’ Compensation Act.

Your medical treatment will be paid through workers’ compensation if your work injury or occupational illness occurred as a result of your employment.  You can also receive compensation for a portion of your lost income if your injury or illness causes you to lose all or some of your income for more than seven days from one or more jobs.
