If you or a loved one have been injured on the job in Texas, you may be able to file a workers' compensation claim. Workers' compensation insurance is typically required by the state for every employee - although state law may provide for specific exemptions for farm hands, owners/officers, smaller companies with 5 or less employees, independent contractors, and domestic workers.

After your on-the-job injury or illness occurs, it is the employee's responsibility to complete a claim form and to submit it to either the employer or the state workers' compensation board. Employers will usually have the claim forms available and will submit claims to the insurance company. The employer is always given an opportunity to respond to the claim. If he does not contest the claim, the insurance company will make payment of medical bills and wages. A hearing can be scheduled if the employer contests the claim to determine whether, or how much, workers compensation is owed to the employee.

If you are ever injured at work or you deveop a work-related injury, workers' compensation is an insurance program that can provide you benefits. 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.
