Commentary by Attorney Michael Grossman
Obviously it's important to know what led to a serious construction accident, but people don't often consider how important it is to know what happens next for workers and their families. People tend to assume there's an automatic process after an accident for getting workers and their families benefits. However, Texas has the most complex work injury law of any other state in the country, and there isn't always a guaranteed path for resolving things with an employer.
Sometimes, workers and families are put opposite employers whose priority isn't to get victims and families a fair resolution but rather to avoid as much responsibility as possible. Without the right tools, strategies, and evidence, folks can quickly find themselves outmatched. That's why it's important after any work accident for workers to understand what Texas law says about their situation and what steps they'll need to take to get the resolution they deserve. I see no reason right now why this accident would be an exception.
