SULPHUR SPRINGS, TX - Nov 12, 2025 - McKay Law PLLC, East Texas's most trusted workplace accident and wrongful death law firm, today affirmed its position as the region's leading legal advocate for victims of OSHA violations and preventable workplace tragedies. With hundreds of successful client representations in workplace accident cases and unparalleled expertise in OSHA's "Fatal Four" hazards, McKay Law continues to hold negligent employers accountable across Texas.

As workplace fatalities reach crisis levels in Texas—with the state recording 608 workplace deaths in 2022, ranking second nationally—McKay Law stands at the forefront of demanding justice for families devastated by preventable accidents. The firm's specialized focus on the deadliest workplace hazards positions it uniquely to combat the epidemic of negligent employer conduct that claims hundreds of Texas lives annually.

Expertise in OSHA's Fatal Four: Texas's Deadliest Workplace Hazards

McKay Law has established unmatched expertise in the four leading causes of construction worker deaths identified by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration. These "Fatal Four" hazards—falls, electrocution, struck-by incidents, and caught-in/between accidents—account for 59% of all construction fatalities nationwide, with Texas experiencing disproportionately high rates due to its booming construction industry.

"Every workplace death is preventable. Every family that walks through our doors has lost a loved one because an employer chose profits over safety," said Lindsey McKay, founder of McKay Law PLLC. "We've dedicated our practice to holding negligent employers accountable and securing justice for families who have paid the ultimate price for corporate greed and safety violations. With over 60 years of combined litigation experience, we know how to prove employer negligence and fight for maximum compensation."

Specialized Practice Areas Address Texas's Deadliest Industries

McKay Law's comprehensive workplace accident practice focuses on the industries and hazards that kill the most Texas workers:

CONSTRUCTION ACCIDENTS: With 144 construction workers killed in Texas in 2022—representing 19.5% of all state workplace fatalities—McKay Law has successfully represented countless families in construction death and catastrophic injury cases. The firm's expertise encompasses:

• Fall accidents from roofs, scaffolding, and ladders (33.5% of construction deaths)
• Struck-by incidents involving vehicles, equipment, and falling objects
• Scaffold collapses and unsafe elevated work conditions
• Unprotected edges and missing guardrails
• Defective safety equipment and inadequate fall protection systems

TRANSPORTATION ACCIDENTS: As the leading cause of workplace death in America—accounting for 37.6% of all fatalities and approximately 245 deaths in Texas alone—transportation incidents demand specialized legal expertise. McKay Law's transportation accident practice includes:

• Commercial truck driver deaths on Texas highways and interstates
• Delivery driver accidents in the expanding e-commerce sector
• Construction vehicle and heavy equipment incidents
• Service technician roadway accidents
• Vehicular incidents in work zones
• Hours of Service violations and driver fatigue cases

ELECTROCUTION INJURIES AND DEATHS: Electrical hazards claim 89 construction worker lives nationally each year, with Texas's extensive construction and industrial sectors creating elevated risks. McKay Law's electrocution practice addresses:

• Contact with overhead power lines during construction and crane operations
• Failures to implement lockout/tagout procedures
• Defective electrical equipment and missing ground-fault protection
• Inadequate electrical safety training
• Excavation incidents striking underground utilities
• Wet condition electrical hazards

CAUGHT-IN/BETWEEN AND CRUSHING ACCIDENTS: These devastating incidents—accounting for 7.3% of construction deaths and involving workers trapped, crushed, or compressed by equipment, machinery, or collapsing structures—require sophisticated legal and technical expertise. McKay Law's caught-in/between practice encompasses:

• Trench and excavation collapses burying workers
• Workers crushed between vehicles, equipment, and structures
• Equipment entanglement and machinery entrapment
• Cave-ins during demolition work
• Conveyor and rotating equipment incidents
• Unguarded machinery accidents

Hundreds of Successful Representations Across East Texas

McKay Law's reputation as East Texas's top workplace accident attorney stems from a proven track record of results for families devastated by employer negligence and unsafe work environments. The firm has successfully represented hundreds of clients in workplace accident cases, securing millions of dollars in compensation while holding corporations accountable for safety failures.

Recent representative results include:

• $6.8 million settlement for two families after workers died in trench collapse caused by willful OSHA violations
• $4.2 million settlement for family after construction worker fell from unprotected roof despite multiple OSHA citations
• $8.5 million recovery for family after commercial truck driver killed due to Hours of Service violations
• $5.4 million settlement after worker caught in unguarded machinery with multiple OSHA violations
• $2.9 million settlement for widow after husband electrocuted due to lockout/tagout failures

Past results do not guarantee future outcomes. Each case is evaluated based on its unique facts and circumstances.

Deep Understanding of OSHA Regulations Drives Superior Results

What distinguishes McKay Law from other personal injury firms is the team's comprehensive knowledge of OSHA regulations, workplace safety standards, and how to leverage OSHA violations to establish employer liability. The firm's attorneys understand that OSHA citations—while important—provide only limited penalties that fail to compensate families. McKay Law uses OSHA violations as evidence in civil wrongful death and catastrophic injury lawsuits to secure full compensation for families.

"OSHA penalties are woefully inadequate," McKay explained. "The maximum fine for a willful violation that kills a worker is only $161,323—a pittance to large corporations. The real accountability comes through civil litigation where we can pursue millions in damages for families' losses. We know how to use OSHA violations to prove negligence per se and gross negligence, opening the door to full compensation including punitive damages."

Comprehensive Legal Services for Workplace Accident Victims

McKay Law provides full-spectrum legal representation for workplace accident cases, including:

• Immediate 24-hour response to workplace fatalities and catastrophic injuries
• Independent accident investigation before evidence is destroyed
• OSHA investigation monitoring and citation analysis
• Expert witness collaboration with occupational safety engineers, accident reconstruction specialists, and former OSHA inspectors
• Multi-party liability analysis identifying all responsible parties beyond direct employers
• Maximum damage recovery including economic losses, non-economic damages, and punitive damages where appropriate
• Trial-ready advocacy with proven courtroom experience

No Upfront Costs—Contingency Fee Representation

McKay Law represents workplace accident victims and wrongful death families on a contingency fee basis—clients pay no attorney fees unless the firm recovers compensation. This ensures that financial concerns never prevent families from accessing experienced legal representation during their most difficult moments.

"Families shouldn't have to choose between justice and financial survival," McKay stated. "We advance all case costs, handle all legal complexities, and fight aggressively for maximum compensation so families can focus on healing. Our clients pay nothing unless we win."

Texas's Workplace Fatality Crisis Demands Aggressive Advocacy

Recent Bureau of Labor Statistics data reveals the scope of Texas's workplace safety crisis:

• Texas ranks #2 nationally for total workplace fatalities with 608 deaths in 2022
• Transportation incidents account for 40.3% of Texas workplace deaths (245 fatalities)
• Construction deaths reached 144 in 2022, making it Texas's second-deadliest industry
• OSHA has only ~120 inspectors covering all of Texas—it would take 160+ years to inspect every workplace once
• Average OSHA penalty for serious violations is only $2,947—insufficient to deter negligent employers

"These aren't just statistics—they're mothers, fathers, sons, and daughters who went to work and never came home," McKay emphasized. "Behind every number is a devastated family struggling with grief, financial uncertainty, and the knowledge that their loved one's death was entirely preventable. That's why we do this work. That's why we fight."
