Ross Dress for Less Workers’ Compensation Claims in Houston

While Ross Dress for Less has hundreds of stores spread across most of the United States, there is just one state where getting hurt while working for this massive company likely will not get you workers’ compensation. This is because Texas is the only state which does not strictly require any type of employer to purchase and maintain workers’ comp coverage for all their employees. Ross Dress for Less is one of many companies that has chosen to take advantage of this and be a “non-subscriber.”

Fortunately, this does not mean that you have no options for demanding financial compensation after getting injured on the job here. In fact, you may be able to recover more compensation than a traditional workers’ comp claim would have provided. If you have questions about Ross Dress for Less workers’ compensation claims in Houston, you should make it a top priority to speak with a skilled work accident attorney.

Common Injuries Among Ross Dress for Less Workers

Since Ross Dress for Less is a retail company focused primarily on selling clothes, shoes, and home furniture, the most common on-the-job injuries are the same ones that are common in just about any retail establishment. Both minor and life-altering injuries suffered by workers in a Ross Dress for Less store or warehouse could potentially serve as the basis for a claim against the company, including:

Anyone in Houston who suspects they have suffered an injury serious enough to require medical care while performing work-related duties for Ross Dress for Less should notify their immediate supervisor as soon as possible. They should then go to the doctor for professional diagnosis and treatment, and contact a personal injury attorney to discuss possible recovery options.

Filing Suit Against a “Non-Subscriber” Ross Dress for Less

Since Ross Dress for Less is a “non-subscriber” company in Texas, their employees do not have traditional workers’ compensation coverage, and the company does not automatically assume liability for certain losses caused by on-the-job injuries. However, this also means they are not immune from civil liability for work-related injuries in the way that a company with workers’ comp coverage would be.

As a result, any Ross Dress for Less worker in Houston who can prove some form of negligence by their employer directly led to them being injured on the job may be able to file a lawsuit against the company over the harm they sustained. Compensable losses may include not only medical bills and the full value of lost work wages while recovering from a work-related injury, but also various non-economic forms of harm like physical pain, psychological distress, and lost enjoyment of life.

Talk to a Houston Attorney About Ross Dress for Less Workers’ Compensation Claims

While filing a third-party lawsuit against your employer for a work-related injury can be more complicated than filing a workers’ comp claim, it can also allow for far greater financial recovery if your case is successful. That said, your odds of achieving a positive resolution to a work-related injury claim are slim if you try to pursue the compensation on your own.
