Regardless of what happened here, it’s important for people to know that Texas work fatality law is more complex than in any other state in the country. Put simply, there isn’t always a guarantee that families will receive benefits following the loss of a loved one in a work accident. Sometimes, they’re put up against the employer, who almost always will prioritize their own needs before a worker’s family. That’s why it’s important that families have as much evidence as possible working in their favor and telling the victim’s side of the story. That can help keep the scales balanced as they work toward getting a just resolution. Relying solely on OSHA to handle such a complex legal maze isn’t likely to produce good outcomes.
