H2S Deaths in the Odessa Oilfield: 50 Years After Denver City, Who Is Accountable? If you are reading this page, someone you love did not come home from the oilfield. Or they came home and told you what happened at that facility, and now you are sitting at a kitchen table in Odessa or Midland or Pecos at two in the morning, searching for answers because the company called it an accident and you know in your bones it was not. You are right. In the Permian Basin, hydrogen sulfide is not a mystery. It is a known, regulated, entirely foreseeable killer that the oil and gas industry has understood for over half a century. When a facility operator lets it take a life, that is not bad luck. That is a choice someone made between compliance and safety — and your family is living with the cost. We are the trial team at Attorney911 — The Manginello Law Firm, PLLC. We handle wrongful death claims and toxic exposure cases in Texas, including the Permian Basin.

The Day the Gas Came: What Happened at the Aghorn Pump House in Odessa If you are reading this because someone you love went to work in the Permian Basin and did not come home — or because you watched the news about an Odessa pump house where a husband and wife died the same evening, leaving two children waiting in a car — you are already in the hardest part of this. You are sitting with a grief that does not fit into words, and you are trying to understand whether anything can still be done about it. We are going to tell you the truth about that, straight, because that is what you deserve. Here is what the public record shows. On October 26, 2019, a worker was dispatched by his employer, Aghorn Operating Inc., to check on one of the company’s pump houses in Odessa, Texas — an enclosed facility in the heart of the Permian Basin, where hydrogen sulfide gas can accumulate to lethal concentrations without any visible warning.

Odessa Hit-and-Run Wrongful Death: What Happens When a Drunk Driver Kills a Father of Three and Runs You are reading this because someone you love was taken from you by a person who chose to drive drunk, chose to strike them, and then chose to run. The criminal case is over — the driver pleaded guilty, the jury sentenced him, the courtroom emptied. And now you are sitting at a kitchen table in Odessa, looking at three children who do not understand why their father is not coming home, and you are realizing that the criminal sentencing did not pay the rent, did not replace the paycheck that stopped, did not answer the question that keeps you awake at 3 a.m.: What happens to us now? We are Attorney911 — The Manginello Law Firm. We handle wrongful-death cases in Texas, and we are writing this for you: the spouse, the parent, the adult child, the family member who just learned that the criminal system punished the driver but did not make your family whole. That is a separate fight. It is a fight that has its own rules, its own deadlines, its own evidence, and its own money — and…

Odessa DWI Crash Killed Two 19-Year-Old Passengers — What the Probation Sentence Means for the Families’ Civil Rights If you found this page because someone you love was killed by a drunk driver in Odessa, and you just watched the criminal court hand down a sentence of probation, you are probably sitting with a question that no news article will answer for you: Is that really all? We are not going to pretend it feels like enough. Ten years of community supervision, a $10,000 fine per count, and 120 days in the Ector County jail for killing two nineteen-year-old people is the kind of outcome that makes families feel like the justice system looked at their loss and decided it was manageable. We understand that feeling. We have sat with families in exactly this position, and we can tell you two things at once: the criminal sentence is one system, and the civil case is a completely separate one. The criminal court decides what the state does to the person who drove drunk. The civil court decides what the person who drove drunk — and anyone else who helped create the danger — owes the families whose lives were destroyed.…

The Odessa I-20 Werner Case: A $100 Million Verdict, a Supreme Court Reversal, and What It Means for Your Family If you are reading this, someone you love may have been hurt or killed on Interstate 20 near Odessa — or on any of the Permian Basin corridors where 80,000-pound tractor-trailers mix with passenger vehicles at highway speeds on roads that freeze without warning. You may be sitting in a hospital hallway or at a kitchen table covered in paperwork, and the insurance adjuster has already called you once. We want you to know three things before you read any further: what happened to you is not random, the company that hit you is already working to limit what it pays, and the law gives you tools most people never hear about until it is too late to use them. We are Attorney911 — The Manginello Law Firm, PLLC. We handle commercial trucking accident cases across Texas, including the I-20 corridor through Ector County and the Permian Basin. This page is about a specific case — a December 30, 2014 crash on I-20 near Odessa that killed a 7-year-old child and left his sister quadriplegic — and about what that…

Odessa, Texas: The Werner Enterprises Winter Storm Truck Crash on I-20 — FMCSA 392.14, Corporate Safety Failures, and the $92M Verdict That Was Reversed If you are reading this because someone you love was hurt or killed in a commercial truck crash on I-20 — or on any highway in the Permian Basin during a winter storm — you are probably sitting with a folder of papers you do not understand, a phone full of missed calls from an insurance adjuster who sounds sympathetic and is not, and a grief that has not yet found its shape. We are going to tell you the truth about what happened in a case that is remarkably similar to yours, what the law requires, what the company is already doing, and what your first steps should be.
