However, in choosing not to, your employer has given up all rights to asserting a defense in court in the event you are hurt. _________________ Thanks, Christine Huddleston Dallas Business Insurance	CHuddleston New member Joined: 15 Jun 2010 Posts: 16 Location: Fort Worth, TX 2.92 Dollars($)

Also, it helps if you should stay updated on the state insurance norms.	roddick Senior member Joined: 05 Oct 2005 Posts: 962 143.16 Dollars($)
