The family of a recently deceased oilfield worker is filing a wrongful death suit against two Texas companies. The suit alleges that Forge Energy LLC and Thornton Drilling Co. were grossly negligent and that their negligence was a cause of the man’s death. The 20-year-old man was hired last year by Thornton and was killed after just five days of work. Thornton contracted with Forger to operate a rig and the man was electrocuted while using a power washer located outside the generator house.
The lack of driver and passenger safety has led to more accidents and subsequently more road deaths. The Texas Department of Transportation launched their annual Click It or Ticket campaign to encourage travelers to buckle up and avoid fatal car accidents.
A Texas truck driver was recently convicted of involuntary manslaughter after a fatal accident on the interstate. The driver, who worked for T-Energy at the time of the crash, pleaded guilty to the felony charge and was sentenced to one year in prison, followed by three years of supervised probation and $1,000 in fines.
Texas families who lose a loved one in a tragic accident may file a wrongful death suit to help move on. For example, the Jackson family has filed a wrongful death suit against a concert promoter after the death of pop superstar Michael Jackson.
