MLF Legals Workers’ compensation videos are an effective way to educate and inform employees about their rights and responsibilities when it comes to workplace injuries. These videos can cover a variety of topics, such as how to report an injury, what benefits are available, and how to navigate the claims process. By presenting this information in a visual and engaging format, workers’ compensation videos can help to ensure that employees understand their rights and are better equipped to protect themselves in the event of an accident or injury at work. Additionally, these videos can be a useful tool for employers, who can use them to reinforce their commitment to employee safety and to remind workers of the importance of following established safety protocols. Overall, workers’ compensation videos are an important component of any workplace safety program, and can help to ensure that employees are informed, prepared, and protected.

What Is Texas Workers’ Compensation Law?

Workers’ compensation in Texas is different than in any other state.  It is a convoluted process that very few people understand.  Texas workers’ compensation law is controlled by political agendas.  It changes constantly, sometimes daily.  So, we have developed this page to keep up with the changes.

Texas workers’ compensation law comes from three sources:
  • a statute that we call the Texas Workers’ Compensation Act;
  • rules written by the Division of Workers’ Compensation; and,
  • opinions written by judges
  • When analyzing the law related to workers’ compensation in Texas, it is important to note that the statute controls above all else. The Division’s rules are supposed to implement the statute. Judges interpret the statute and the rules and tell us what it all means. The legislature is free to change the statute as it sees fit. The Division can write new rules at any time. Judges write opinions about Texas workers’ compensation law every day. For those of us who participate in the Texas workers’ compensation system, whether by choice or by necessity, it is important to understand the law. That is the purpose of this page.
