An employer is absolutely and strictly liable for any injuries his employees sustain while in the course of their occupation. Fortunately, most states have adopted "sole remedy" laws that provide a great deal of protection, for employers, from employee lawsuits, as long as the employer has purchased workers compensation insurance. Talk to a local broker or agent to clarify the laws in your jurisdiction.

Who is liable for illegally installing software?
If a user illegally installs software on their home computer, they are held liable. (If a child illegally installs software on a parent's computer, the parent will most likely be held liable, depending upon the age of the child.) The exact person held liable is more sketchy when applied to a company. If the company has masterminded the illegal installation of software (i.e., they told the employees to do it), they will most likely be held liable. If an employee illegally installs software on a company computer, the installer will be held liable, but the company might also be held liable, depending on the circumstances and the degree to which the company was involved. The court sentence varies, but in the U.S. it is a maximum of 5 years in prison and/or a $250,000 fine. However, the maximum sentence is usually only used in repeated offenses and extreme first offenses.

Yes, because Texas is the only voluntary Comp state.
