Workers' compensation insurance can be prohibitively expensive for many Texas businesses. Employers that take the risk of going the non-subscriber route can benefit from significant cost savings, but they often need proactive legal advice regarding policy, as well as representation in the defense of lawsuits when problems arise related to workplace injury.
Shelton & Valadez maintains a robust non-subscriber practice. We provide practical counsel to businesses throughout Texas. We are known for our focus on relationships and results.
Risk Management And Problem Solving
At Shelton & Valadez, we help companies develop non-subscriber plans that mitigate risk and control costs. We also provide non-subscriber defense, representing clients in litigation related to negligence claims brought by injured workers. Our attorneys can help you answer questions about:
- Program development at any stage
- Regulatory matters involving federal and state entities
- Purchasing workers' comp insurance — when it is in your best interest
- Options for the defense of negligence claims
- A lawsuit you are currently dealing with
- Claims involving catastrophic injuries in the workplace, as well as smaller claims
- Whether mediation or arbitration may be appropriate
Defending non-subscriber cases is generally not an easy thing. It is important to have the assistance of a lawyer with relevant experience if you wish to maximize your chances of success.
Mediation As A Solution
Mediation provides a facilitated negotiation environment that is collaborative, efficacious, cost-effective and more confidential than litigation. It is ideal for businesses and individuals who like to fashion their own remedies to problems and maintain as much autonomy as possible.
Domestic relations lawyer Wade Shelton is a professional mediator and a charter member of the Texas Academy of Distinguished Neutrals. He also provides arbitration services, effectively serving as a private judge who can render decisions on critical matters outside of court.
