At the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, I wrote this post about how to make a workers' compensation claim arising out of an exposure to COVID-19. Based on my experiences with other occupational diseases, I predicted that insurance carriers would likely be denying most COVID-19 exposure claims. Now, almost one year into the pandemic, we have several months' worth of data to help provide us with a better picture of how Texas workers are faring when they submit a COVID-19 claim.
