Is my employer required to file a
workers' compensation claim for me?
In most cases, it is your responsibility to give your employer Notice of your injury and to file a Notice of Injury (DWC-41) within one (1) year of that the injury's occurrence. Our law office files this form for our clients upon accepting the case.
The employer should also notify the Insurance Company of the injury. It is not mandatory in Texas for an employer to carry Workers’ Compensation insurance to cover your injuries. Sometimes it is difficult to determine if there is Workers’ Compensation coverage or what to do if there is not, but this is also something we can help with.
