Texas Law: Workplace Injury in Canyon

Workplace injury claims in Texas depend on the employer's workers' comp status. Non-subscriber employers can be sued for negligence under common law, and they lose the defenses of contributory negligence, assumption of risk, and fellow-servant doctrine under Tex. Lab. Code § 406.033. Subscriber employers are generally immune from lawsuits; injured workers receive benefits through the Texas Department of Insurance Division of Workers' Compensation. Workers' comp claims must be filed within 1 year. Third-party civil claims follow the standard 2-year statute of limitations (§ 16.003). Comparative fault (Chapter 33) applies to third-party claims.
