Who Must Carry Workers’ Compensation Insurance?

Unlike other states, Texas’ workers’ compensation laws do not apply to every employer in the state. State Statutes makes workers’ compensation insurance an elective coverage, except for public employers. An employer that does not obtain this type of insurance coverage must notify the Division of Workers’ Compensation in writing. Employers must also notify employees of the status of workers’ comp coverage at the time of hire. The employer must place notices around the workplace informing employees whether or not it carries workers’ compensation insurance. Just because it may not be required does not mean you should not obtain coverage.

Legal protection for you

Employers who do not carry workers’ compensation coverage are financially responsibility for an employee’s injury or death if the company is found negligent. The total amount you could be responsible for is unlimited. Failing to obtain this coverage could end up costing you your business and more. Section 408.001 of the Texas Labor Code explains that, with only a few exceptions, workers’ comp benefits are the injured employee’s sole source of recovery from an employer who carries valid workers’ comp coverage.
