Non-Subscriber Claims Attorneys in El Paso & Las Cruces
In Texas, employers are not required to have workers’ compensation insurance coverage and can instead elect to be classified as “non-subscribers.” According to the Texas Department of Insurance, approximately 20 percent of all Texas employees are employed by non-subscriber companies. When employees of non-subscribers are injured in work-related accidents, they are able to seek compensation directly from their employers via a negligence claim.
