Camacho, et al. v. Penn Octane
International, L.L.C., et al.
On August 11, 2005, a tanker truck loaded with liquid propane was hit by a freight train in the town of Lucio Blanco in Mexico. Slack Davis Sanger represented sixty-eight plaintiffs regarding their injuries in this matter. Investigation showed that the company who owned and operated the tanker truck had loaded the propane without also injecting ethyl mercaptan, an odorant that would have allowed the town residents to be aware of the chemical spill before it caught on fire.

Martin v. XTO Energy, Inc.
On August 11, 2005, a tanker truck loaded with liquid propane was hit by a freight train in the town of Lucio Blanco in Mexico. Slack Davis Sanger represented sixty-eight plaintiffs regarding their injuries in this matter. Investigation showed that the company who owned and operated the tanker truck had loaded the propane without also injecting ethyl mercaptan, an odorant that would have allowed the town residents to be aware of the chemical spill before it caught on fire.
Competent counsel for victims of serious worksite injuries and industrial accidents
Oil and gas extraction and construction are two of the most dangerous industries in the nation. According to the Texas Department of Insurance’s 2019 report, there were 608 fatal occupational injuries in Texas in 2019; 123 of those victims worked in construction. According to the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), the annual fatality rate for oil and gas extraction is about 6x higher than the fatality rate of all U.S. industries.
Because Texas doesn’t require most private companies to offer workers’ compensation, the only alternative many injured workers have at their disposal is a personal injury claim. Slack Davis Sanger fights on behalf of workers who sustain life-altering injuries as a result of worksite explosions, pipeline accidents, crane and decking collapses, electric shocks, falling objects, and more. We understand that the very real risk of life-threatening injuries like burns, crush injuries, brain injury, and limb loss that construction workers and oil field workers face every day, and how these types of injuries can affect them and their families. That is why so many workers and families choose us to represent their best interests in courtrooms and at the negotiation table.
