It might surprise people how often even families get as few details as what I’m seeing here. There’s this notion that OSHA is going to get all of the facts and get a victim’s loved ones a clear explanation of what happened. Frankly, that’s not their priority, so it’s sometimes left to the families to seek out their own answers.
To top things off, they then have to navigate what is hands down the most complex work fatality laws of any other state in the country. Simply put, Texas does not require employers to subscribe to the workers’ comp system, so there is not a guaranteed path for a family to get the benefits they deserve. Just like with getting the answers they need, it often comes down to whether a family has the tools and allies to navigate such a complex maze and get to the conclusion that’s best for them.
