Reagan County, TX — January 10, 2024, Jase Lackey was killed due to a work accident that happened around 9:30 a.m. off Farm-to-Market 33.
According to initial details about the accident, it happened about halfway between Garden City and Big Lake, near RM 1357.
An OSHA accident summary says that 25-year-old Jase Lackey was working to connect pipes at the time which were apparently on a forklift. The pipes somehow fell onto Jase Lackey, resulting in fatal injuries.
OSHA reported two alleged serious citations. The case status has been marked as “closed.”
Commentary by Attorney Michael Grossman
With any work accident, an OSHA summary saying “closed” might not actually mean everything is open-and-shut. I’ve been handling work fatalities for 30 years now, and the OSHA reports often just scratch the surface.
Texas has the most complex work fatality laws of any other state in the country. Despite what many believe, there isn’t always a guaranteed path for getting a worker’s family the help they need after an accident. That takes a lot more legal maneuvering, and an OSHA report is usually just one piece of that puzzle.
Hopefully steps were taken here to anticipate those challenges so the family could put all the pieces together and get a just resolution.
