TEXAS WORKERS’ COMPENSATION

Denied, Delayed, or Underpaid? We Fight for the Benefits You’ve Earned

Texas workers’ compensation is supposed to cover your medical care and a portion of your lost wages after a job injury — no need to prove fault. But insurance carriers routinely dispute claims, delay treatment approvals, and try to cut off benefits early.

J.A. Davis & Associates helps injured workers navigate the Texas Department of Insurance, Division of Workers’ Compensation (DWC) process, appeal denied claims, and make sure every benefit they’re entitled to is paid in full.

South Texas Workers’ Compensation FAQ

No — Texas workers’ compensation is a no-fault system, so you don’t need to prove negligence to receive benefits.

You have the right to appeal through the DWC, including a benefit review conference and contested case hearing.

You generally must treat within your insurance carrier’s approved network, though you can request a change of treating doctor.

You must notify your employer within 30 days and file your claim within one year of the injury.

Texas law prohibits retaliation against employees for filing a workers’ compensation claim in good faith.

If your employer is a non-subscriber, you may be able to file a negligence lawsuit for full damages instead.
