Our client was on the first day of his job as a hand on a well site in east Texas. He was asked to help clean the mud pit. However, no one told him it had caustic acids in the pit before he got in it. The acids burned through his boots and began to burn the skin on his legs causing severe pain and scarring. He was able to crawl out and asked for help. Instead of proper medical attention, the supervisor poured vinegar on his burns which caused even more pain and caused him to lose feeling in his legs. Our client found an attorney who referred his case to our firm since we handle work injuries in the oil and gas business. After years of litigation, the Amaro Law Firm was able to prove that the Defendants failed to properly train and supervise their workers of hazards on the job and also failed to warn of dangers they should have known about.
