How Did This Accident Occur?
Obviously, there isn’t enough information right now to know exactly what happened. However, I’ve been handling Texas work fatality accident cases for over 30 years. Generally speaking, the root cause of a fatal workplace accident boils down to a few common situations. Usually, the incident happens due to a lack of supervision, a lack of training, lack of proper safety equipment, or a work environment that encourages or outright demands risky behavior.
I’m sure there are plenty of folks reading this working in hazardous fields who can attest to the fact that far too many employers out there put productivity above the safety of their own workers. If that happened here, it needs to be called out.
