Texas Injured Employee Rights

If an employee is injured on the job in Texas, the employee should receive information about his or her rights to Workers' Compensation. Texas employees that are injured at work in the state of Texas may be able to get free assistance from the Office of Injured Employee Counsel.

The Texas Injured Employee Rights Pamphlet from the Workers' Compensation Program informs employees about all of their rights under the workers' compensation system, including the right and requirements needed in order to receive benefits, the right to medical care, the right to a doctor, and the right to receive information at no cost.

This pamphlet also lets employees know that they are required to notify their employer if they have been injured on the job. Employees hurt on the job is a serious issue.  Use The Texas Injured Employee Rights Pamphlet to document correctly within the guidelines set by the Texas Worker’s Compensation Program.
