Lubbock, TX — A man was killed in a work accident in Lubbock, Texas, on Friday, December 19, 2014. The accident involved an employee of JAG Express, Inc.
Very little is known about the accident at this point. It hasn’t been widely reported by the news. Sources say that the man involved in the accident died when fell off the back of a flatbed truck. His name has not been released.
JAG Express, Inc. seems to be a trucking company from what I’ve been able to find online. In any case, there are any one of a thousand reasons that one of their employees could be injured in an accident involving a truck.
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration has been notified of the accident, and they’re currently investigating.
Scene of the Accident
Commentary
It’s unfortunate that we don’t know more about this accident. Sources say that the man was killed in a fall from a flatbed. How high was the flatbed? Was the truck moving at the time? Did the truck even belong to the same company the victim worker for? Often, these sorts of accidents are going to be handled by an employer’s workers’ comp policy. However, if a third party was involved here, they could find themselves liable for the accident. We just don’t know right now. If anyone has any more information on this accident, I’d like to know more about what happened.
