Workers’ compensation is an insurance program for employees who suffer injuries or experience an occupational disease while on the job. For you to receive compensation, your injury or illness has to have been in the “course and scope” of your employment. These programs vary by state, and some private companies in Texas can choose not to subscribe.

A non-subscriber is a private company that has chosen not to have workers’ compensation insurance coverage. Workers’ compensation helps employees to cover medical bills and lost wages due to an injury or illness sustained on the job. Since Target is a non-subscriber, you will have to file a claim for workers’ compensation through their private plan.
Remember that non-subscriber policies often do not allow you to recover as much as traditional workers’ compensation. Nonetheless, you can also file a personal injury lawsuit to recover damages. With a non-subscriber company, if you file suit for negligence, you may recover more than if Target was a subscriber.
The first step to filing your claim is to let your supervisor know you have sustained an injury while working. Time limits vary depending on your specific Target injury policy. Nevertheless, you should be able to get a copy from your supervisor. You will likely need to report the injury right away.
It is typically crucial under any private plan to get medical care after reporting your injury. Just make certain that you are going to a provider that your workplace has approved. Again, you should ask your supervisor what medical providers you can visit.
The next step is to file your injury compensation claim through Target’s policy. Usually, employees only have 30 days or less to file a claim. You should check your handbook or ask about this deadline since time limits often differ. Overall, be sure that you file your claim as soon as possible.
