In Texas, many construction employers opt out of workers’ compensation insurance, becoming “nonsubscribers.” This unique status can significantly impact injured workers, offering them the opportunity to file negligence lawsuits for full compensation, including lost wages, medical expenses, and pain and suffering. Unlike traditional workers’ comp, nonsubscriber claims strip employers of certain defenses, making it easier for injured workers to seek justice. If you’ve been injured on a construction site, understanding your rights is crucial. Discover how you can navigate this complex landscape and maximize your recovery with the right legal support.
