Amazon Workers’ Compensation Claims in Texas

Working in a warehouse, especially for a company like Amazon, can be physically demanding. Since 2016, Amazon has faced over 100 federal investigations for workplace safety violations.

If you’ve been injured on the job, filing an Amazon workers comp claim can be complicated—especially in Texas, where Amazon doesn’t provide traditional state-run workers’ compensation. But you don’t have to face this alone. Our experienced lawyers are here to guide you through the process and fight for the compensation you deserve.

Getting Hurt on the Job at Amazon

Amazon does not provide traditional workers’ compensation coverage in Texas. Instead, it operates as a non-subscriber, meaning it has opted out of the state’s workers’ compensation system and provides its own private insurance plan. If your injury was not caused by negligence, filing a claim through Amazon’s private insurance may be your best option.

However, if Amazon or one of its employees was responsible for your injuries, you may have the right to file a lawsuit against Amazon. Unlike companies that participate in the state’s workers’ compensation system, non-subscribers like Amazon lose certain legal protections, making it possible to pursue a claim for damages.

Our experienced attorneys are ready to fight for the compensation you deserve. Contact us today to discuss your case.

Typical Injuries at Amazon

Depending on your role, there are a plethora of severe injuries that can occur. These may include:

• Broken bones;

After your injury, it’s important to see a doctor and obtain copies of your medical records. Then, reach out to us for guidance—we can help you navigate the Amazon workers’ comp claims process and fight for the compensation you deserve.

I cannot recommend Kelly Viktorin at Armstrong Lee & Baker highly enough. After being injured at work, I was incredibly discouraged as many attorneys wouldn’t take my case due to the complexities involved. From our very first consultation, Kelly and her team jumped right in, demonstrating a level of dedication and expertise that immediately put me at ease. Throughout the entire process, their communication was outstanding. I was consistently kept informed of any updates and felt like a priority. Kelly truly went above and beyond to fight for me, and I am so grateful for her hard work and commitment. If you’re facing a challenging work injury case, especially with a Texas non-subscriber, don’t hesitate to reach out to Kelly Viktorin. You’ll be in excellent hands.

When I got injured my company didn’t have workers comp. They had something called non subscriber insurance. I tried a dozen or more lawyers and no one would take my case. I lost my house in Texas so right as I was moving back to where I was from, Florida, I called Armstrong Lee & Bkaer. They said they could take my case. Shortly after I meet Adam Grable.
Adam took the case and unraveled it like a champ. It was a difficult case and that’s why other lawyers didn’t take. Over the next year, Adam because a friend and a member of the family. I found him brilliant and personable and when needed he found for me. In the end, we took a settlement even though Adam told me he had a good shot at trial. He understood i wanted this behind me! If you ever find yourself needed a lawyer trust me Adam Grable will be on your side!
