Most of the time they are. Wisconsin businesses are required by law to have worker’s compensation insurance or self insure for potential work-related injuries. Texas businesses, however, are not legally required to carry worker’s compensation insurance. Private employers who choose to provide worker’s comp insurance are called “subscribers”, while those businesses who forgo carrying worker’s comp insurance are called “non-subscribers”. If a Texas business is a non-subscriber, your workplace injury could result in a personal injury lawsuit against your employer.

If you’re in Wisconsin, this would be extremely rare, but it would be worth contacting an attorney to help you understand your rights and navigate the process of reporting your injury. Its fairly common for Texas employers to be non-subscribers to workers comp insurance. If that’s the case of your employer, then you and your attorney will need to proceed with a personal injury lawsuit and prove that your employer was at fault and their negligence caused your on-the-job injury.

In both Texas and Wisconsin, you must report your work injury to your employer within 30 days of your injury. In Texas, you have two years from the date of your injury to file a personal injury lawsuit against your employer.
