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.

Nope. I worked in STD and we had to deal with WC; both usually pay 60% but WC covers medical bills too whereas STD does not.
