People often see OSHA issuing citations and assume that everything is being taken care of. The reality is OSHA generally just covers one part of an incredibly complex legal process. Their efforts don’t guarantee any sort of benefits for the worker’s loved ones. In fact, Texas work fatality laws allow for employers to decide if there will be an automatic process to get benefits for the family. Sometimes, families are left to advocate for a resolution, and that requires a lot of legal experience and evidence beyond what any OSHA report is going to offer. So, have steps been taken here to ensure that this worker’s family is going to get the best outcome available to them under Texas law?
