Fort Worth Work-Related Death Lawyer

We work to earn money, pursue interests, find a sense of purpose, and take care of our families. We do not work in hopes that we will be fatally injured on the job. Unfortunately, this is what is happening to far too many workers throughout the state of Texas.

While work-related deaths have fallen across the country, Texas just hasn’t quite figured it out yet. We lead the nation in workplace fatalities and the industries that have endured the most loss in our state are construction, transportation and warehousing, and mining. A great portion of these accidents can also be attributed to our current oil and gas boom that has employees working long hours and in dangerous situations. These companies are valuing profit over safety, and too many families across Texas are being forced to deal with the tragedy of losing a loved one.

If you recently lost someone you love in a work-related accident, we are very sorry for your loss. At the Law Offices of Tom Hall, we have represented many different families still reeling from the tragic and sudden death of someone very important to them. We know how you are feeling right now and take great care in providing sensitive, but strong legal representation. We cannot undo what happened to your loved one, but we can fight for them and may be able to help you obtain the compensation you need to move forward after such a senseless loss.
