How Did This Accident Occur?
With so few details available right now, this incident could involve anything from toxic fumes to a medical emergency to some freak trip and fall accident. I’ve looked been a part of countless investigations into work fatalities over the years, and I’ve seen just about every situation one could imagine. Regardless of the cause of the incident, one thing remains consistent: Texas has the most complex work fatality laws of any other state in the country. Let me explain why.
Families often think there’s an automatic process working behind the scenes to meet their needs. The reality is often that if they don’t take steps themselves to get answers and work toward a resolution, that resolution may never come. So while OSHA focuses on their own priorities, it’s sometimes necessary for families to seek out their own answers so they can navigate the legal maze that is Texas work fatality law. Hopefully steps have been taken here to ensure there’s a clear path between the worker’s loved ones and a just resolution.
