Fatal Workplace Accidents in Texas

Every day, millions of Americans head out to their place of employment. When working, we expect a safe and productive environment.

As a result, these workers are more likely to sustain serious injuries in accidents. More than 185,000 people are injured on the job every year across the United States.

Regrettably, numerous workers suffer devastating injuries that ultimately claim their lives. Every year, workplace accidents claim the lives of thousands of victims across the United States.
