Introduction. The first workers' compensation laws were enacted in Texas in 1913 and held fast to the principle that employers should be allowed to choose whether to offer workers' compensation benefits to their employees.
Workers Compensation laws require most employers to obtain workers' compensation insurance. In exchange the laws provide that, for the most part, employees can't sue their employers over workplace injuries. With worker's compensation, the employee doesn't have to prove that the employer's negligence caused the injury. In fact, the employee can be compensated even if the employee's own negligence caused the injury. However, there are some instances when an employee's injuries won't be covered.
