Commentary by Attorney Michael Grossman
Beyond the inherent challenges of looking into a deadly accident, it's important to understand that Texas work accidents in particular are complex. Texas has the most complex work fatality laws of any other state in the country. Despite what many think, there isn't always some automatic process for resolving things for the victim's loved ones. This means that steps need to be taken early to understand what path lies ahead for the family. Otherwise, they may end up in a legal maze without the proper tools or strategies to navigate it. The earlier these steps are taken, the better.
