This checklist may be used to navigate a response to a workers' compensation claim. When an employee is injured on the job, the workers' compensation system typically governs how the employee should be compensated and what the employer's obligations and rights are when it comes to responding to workers' compensation claims.
As mandated by the Texas Department of Insurance, Division of Workers' Compensation, covered employers must file the Texas Employer's Report of Non-Covered Employee's Occupational Injury or Disease, DWC007.
