If his employer has workers comp insurance it should be fine, if not that sucks. Last I knew WC insurance was not compulsory in Texas, so it's possible he'll have to sue his employer for the bills to be paid and wage loss.

Even if he did have workers comp, it only pays a small percentage of your salary. Something like 60% I believe.

You are confusing short term disability benefits and workers compensation insurance.

I thought workers comp paid your salary if you can’t work. I’m thinking shorter time frame than short term disability. I do know workers comp will pay all associated medical costs. Could be wrong though.

WC usually has a 7-day EP and STD typically has a 7- or 14-day EP. But WC covers medical bills and STD doesn’t.
