- Did you know that roughly ⅓ of Texas employers do not offer workers’ compensation?
This means that if a Texan is injured on the job in a place like HEB, the path to financial recovery is potentially more complicated.
The good news is that they may have multiple avenues of compensation to pursue.

I am 66 years old being harassed and treated like I did 9/11 or something. I want to file a workman's comp case against my employer. That employer San Joaquin county human service agency. For wrongful termination as an employee after a car wreck that I was not charged with being the cause of.
My wife worked for Office Depot 8 years, had a work slip and fall in a pothole at the entryway to the store while doing a carryout for a customer. All caught on camera. In Texas, so they are nonsubscribers. TERRIBLE. So she had to get a attorney and sue them. Her case is at arbitration now. She was just told the case was moved to a different jurisdiction or something recently. Not sure if that's good or bad. She gets treatment via the Lawyer we hired, at a pain Managment facility in Dallas. She gets plasma injections in her knees and hands. its BEEN GOING ON SINCE JULY 2023. The pothole was there almost 2 years. Even her store manager said very sorry, we thought we had that filled a year ago. THAT seems like negligence, so we are suing them. The manager admitted fault. We have 30k in medical bills with the Lawyers doctors so far. The Lawyer seems to think her case is strong or he wouldn't have taken it. Any idea what we can expect with this arbitration that's currently happening? Shes physically in bad shape and we are in debt. Its been a year nowTY
Yeah I need to know what happen if I don't accept the works compensation my current situation.
Care about people including those they work with everyday at work. Tulsa DHS would have never done that to me here in Tulsa where I worked for them doing the same job in March 1998.
Btw the 3rd party adm insurance they have at office depot is being sued to. I won't name them here. But they are global. They were neglegent,slow walking and denying her pain management. It was awful.
We want worldwide workman's comp for international workers on 211
Her Lawyer is in South Texas.
My supervisor caused my injury and I heard that she knew it was broken I'm pissed
I was working for the state "Potter Counity" I continue to have problems with my injury and w/c continues to ignore me. I was not offered a settlement, is this legal?
I’m at the “MMI” phase of my Tx. W/C 2020 case with the BRC. It’s a Covid-19W/C case; Pulmonologist noes reviewed by a Family PCP?? Shouldn’t W/C utilize a Pulmonologist to review a Pulmonologist’s notes vs Family PCP who does not specialize in Pulmonology? Is it FAIR to the W/C Worker???
I hurt my back at work ( Lumbar strain ) when I was lifting a box of tomatoes, I notified my supervisor and he did a report and I was sent home for the day. The next day they sent me to see their doctor and they did a drug test on me and I tested positive for marijuana. So now the insurance company said that they are denying my claim. Update: I was drug tested 5 times in 7 months of working there and was released by the company 4 months after I was injured. Now I'm unemployed and not receiving benefits anymore and I still feel pain every now and then, depending on what I'm doing.
You gave up your rights to anything after choosing to do drugs...it sucks but that's how it goes
@@Eatmykitty69 Drugs? I'm a grown ass man and on my Off-Time, I can do whatever I please to do. As long as I am not under the influence at work, that's all that should matter. It was a produce warehouse job and I was not operating any machines or dangerous equipment for the company. Question: So, why all the drug tests? Answer: Because I injured myself while working and they wanted to get rid of me asap.
@@daddygreat1 you can't do "anything" on your off time no matter grown ass man or not per drug and alchohol policies
Man, give me some weed. I need to smokr a blunt everyday. I have too much pain in my life
@@adyzYangboi Funny guy huh?
That happened to me in CALIFORNIA
What if they offer me light duty and deny it??
What do social workers do most.
I graduated from the university of Texas at Austin in 1994.
We want workman's comp put on 211
If 200 employers did not fire an employee then 1 did, 1 is trying to call those 200 previous employers should never have hired me. I was fired when I was 49 years old in California. I am from Oklahoma
I got injured at work,my employer doesn't pay workers comp what can I do?
I had a Subscriber claim, they got really nefarious and now I laid a title two claim against them and their insurance company
@Jerry Howard I did already but since he is a small business and the tx state doesn't require you to pay workers comp my law sue became a civil sue and takes more time,it's been a year since the accident happened
I was fired in August 2000
They need to fix it. My husband was a supervisor of a school district on school property his coworker that worked 2 miles down the road this co worker shot my husband in back of the head ten times. I found out 2 years before they caught him on school property showing off a gun and did nothing he was 6 feet from the sign.
Sorry to hear that. Awful. I'm trying to understand , what do you mean "they need to fix it"? Not sure what you're referring to. Do you mean Workers Comp? Thanks.
@@tusnovias no see they caught him with gun before on school property save zone no gun if bring gun 25 years prison 100000 fine. I want to sue school district.
By social workers. Go figure
In no way shape or form could I possibly have caused the death of those 2 Hispanic boys in his car that was hit by a woman with her 6 year old daughter in it. Why was I fired?
For being the victim of a carwreck
Frustrating video. Drags out.
