Workers´ Compensation Basics
The Texas workers´ compensation system is the method by which covered workers are compensated for work-related injuries or illnesses. An employer´s insurance company or certified self-insurance plan pays scheduled benefits for work-related injuries, even if the injured worker´s negligence contributed to the accident. Texas law does not require workers´ compensation. However, your customers may require you to carry it.
