Texas Supreme Court Rules in Worker’s Comp Case Regarding Temporary Employees

Today, in a unanimous opinion, the Texas Supreme Court held that worker's compensation insurance covers temporary employees furnished by temporary staffing agencies. The Court reversed a substantial money judgment for the parents of a worker fatally injured in the course and scope of his employment, holding that the benefits available under the Texas workers’ compensation system were the exclusive remedy for the worker’s injury.  GDHM lawyers Pete Schenkkan and Mary Keeney represented Port Elevator, the defendant/employer, with Ms. Keeney presenting oral argument.
