Whether or not you can sue your employer for your workplace injury depends on whether or not your employer participates in the Texas workers compensation program.
Employers that carry workers compensation are known as subscribers. If your employer is a subscriber, then you’ll have to bring your claim through the Texas workers’ compensation program.
However, if your employer is a non-subscriber, meaning that they do not carry workers compensation, then you may be able to bring a personal injury lawsuit against your employer for your workplace injury.
