Office of Injured Employee Council Analysis of TDI DWC System

July 23, 2013                                               Bulletin 2013-No. 03

 

Norman Darwin, Public Counsel of the Office of Injured Employee Council has written an analysis of the Texas workers’ compensation which he has provided to Insurance Commissioner Julia Rathgeber.  The analysis, entitled “Recommendations for Reformation of the Texas Workers’ Compensation System” sets out a number of problems in the current workers’ compensation and proposes an interesting remedy.

 

A portion of the comments from page 2, section 5 of the analysis is set out below:

 

as has been pointed out, disputes and denials have rendered the purpose of the Act diminished - if not virtually meaningless - by the carriers in their denials and by the Hearings Division of the Division of Workers’ Compensation in their decisions against payment of claims.
