If successful the employee can recover their full common law damages which are more generous than workers compensation benefits.In of Texas employers were nonsubscribers while in the percentage was estimated to be %. The industry advocacy group Texas Association of Business Nonsubscription claims that nonsubscribing employers have had greater satisfaction ratings and reduced expenses when compared to employers enrolled in the workers compensation system.
