Workers Comp and Sports Injuries
Written by <a href='/home/64-pdmiller/profile.html'>Penny Miller</a>   

I had a question this week from an employer in town that is fairly common as sports leagues gear up for Spring.

The question was whether injuries on employer-sponsored sports teams are compensable under workers compensation.
That depends upon your the state in which you operate and whether participation is voluntary. In Texas, if participation is strictly voluntary, then injuries are not compensable. This is by statute. See Section 406.032(1)(D) in http://www.statutes.legis.state.tx.us/Docs/LA/htm/LA.406.htm
