Workers' Compensation is a State-Regulated Insurance Program that:

• Pays reasonable medical costs if you are injured on the job
• May pay income benefits to replace part of the wages you lose because of an on-the-job injury
• Pays income benefits if you have a permanent impairment from an on-the-job injury and
• Pays death benefits to your legal beneficiaries if you are killed on the job

This program works in tandem with Bridge City Independent School District’s commitment to the health and safety of all employees in the workplace.  Preventing work-related illness and injury is our primary goal. Additionally, we want to ensure the employee receives prompt, appropriate medical treatment aimed at an early and safe return to work. 

If applicable, our early return to work program provides opportunities for an employee who is injured on the job to return to work at full duty. If the injured worker is not physically capable of returning to work at full duty, the program provides opportunities to perform his or her regular job with modifications or, when available, to perform alternate temporary work that meets the injured workers physical capabilities. 

BCISD’s Workers’ Compensation contact is Michele Lyons. Please contact her with any questions or concerns at michele.lyons@bridgecityisd.net or 409-735-1531.
