At Allison & Ward, we have represented Dallas residents injured while working for employers who do not carry workers' compensation insurance. While Texas law allows that practice, it does not limit your options or the employer's responsibility for your damages. With experience in workers' compensation, non-subscriber and personal injury claims, we have the experience to overcome the complex legal obstacles.

Texas is unique in that employers are not required to carry workers' compensation insurance. That law, coupled with the high cost of workers' comp premiums, has caused over 40 percent of Texas businesses to opt out of workers' comp insurance and become non-subscribers. This adds a level of complexity to an already confusing area of the law.
North Texas Non Subscriber On The Job Injury Lawyers
Texas workers' compensation law shields Dallas-area employers from negligence lawsuits brought by their employees when the employee is hurt on the job if that employer has workers' compensation insurance. Workers' compensation claims are filed against the insurance provider, not the company. However, non-subscribers, those employers who have opted out of the workers' compensation system, are subject to a personal injury negligence claim.
At Allison & Ward, we will fight to maximize your recovery for the injury resulting from an employer's negligence.
Handling Third Party and Non Subscriber Workers' Compensation Claims
Other Dallas-based workers' compensation claims involve the negligence of a third party. Negligent subcontractors, defective equipment, dangerous site conditions or an inattentive driver crashing into your company car while you are on the job often result in a third-party liability claim.
