Does an employer in Texas have to provide workmen's compensation insurance for an employee if that person has their own private insurance?

Texas is the only state were an employee does not have to have workers' comp insurance. Instead they can have a private accident insurance plan. But they must have one or the other. AN employer can exclude contract employees from coverage under their plan (at least in Texas). I forget the exact number, but I know if an employer is a small company, I think it may be under 15, then they don't have to have workers comp or an accident plan.

If my employer withhold my disability benefit I am entitled to is that discrimination?
No. There is no possible method in which your employer can withhold this. The Government is the governing body for disability insurance. They issue checks for disability. If you are trying to get a workmens compensation claim, the company is not the issuing body either. The company has an insurance company that would pay these claims and again, the administering body is the Government. The employer is only responsible to pay you for when you are working. Compensation claims go through your state.

Workman's Compensation Insurance is specifically for work related injuries. State laws control the way WCI is regulated, meaning the requirements that are needed to collect a claim, the amount of the claim and so forth. Not all employer's are required to participate in WCI therefore not all employee's would have access to the program.In the UK an employer is responsible for injuries caused in the workplace if the employer was in some way negligent or breached other UK regulations. For example - if a workman hurt his foot due to a defective work machine - the employer would be liable to pay compensation.
