Workers Compensation Insurance provides medical and wage payments for injuries received while within the "course and scope" of one's employment with the district. These payments are regulated by the worker's compensation laws of Texas. The Texas Department of Insurance (TDI) is the regulating body for workers compensation claims. The district is self insured for worker's compensation coverage. The third party administrator is TRISTAR Risk Management who actually handles the claims. Make a note of any claim number that you may have when contacting the company with questions about your claim.
Contact your supervisor or your HR representative to report a Workers Compensation injury.
