While details about this accident aren’t clear right now, Texas has the most complex work fatality laws of any state in the country. That creates a legal maze for a worker’s loved ones to navigate, and OSHA investigations alone are rarely enough to navigate it. That takes extensive evidence and legal strategy to properly get through and ensure the family gets the help and the resolution they deserve. Hopefully this lack of clear information from OSHA doesn’t reflect the efforts happening behind the scenes to do right by this worker’s family.
