My dad passed away in a work accident involving a forklift and shelving in a warehouse. OSHA just got back to us about the investigation and found no violations against the company my dad worked for. His autopsy also revealed that he did not have a heart attack or any medical issues that caused this. What the hell does my family do? How does someone just get crushed to death with no explanation from OSHA???
Location: Denver, CO

Have you talked to an attorney yet?
Accidents can happen without anyone being at fault. An accident can also occur due to the fault of the injured employee. OSHA doesn’t determine fault. They just check to see if any laws / rules / regulations were violated by the employer. Keep all documentation you have and talk to a lawyer. They will let you know if there is anything worth pursuing.
