The beginning of the year is always a time of reflection and resolutions that will be forgotten by the first of February. Losing weight and getting in better shape are my top two resolutions that are never accomplished. However, in considering the year’s accomplishments, I am thankful for the opportunity to serve the injured employees of Texas and represent their interest in the workers’ compensation system. While each of us involved in workers’ compensation may have a tendency to become somewhat clinical about our work, it is important to take a moment to reflect on the lives we touch as they cope with their work-related injuries.
