When a Driver Strikes a First Responder at an Emergency Scene in Lubbock, Texas If you are reading this because you or someone you love was struck by a vehicle while working an emergency scene — or because you are a first responder in Lubbock who wants to understand what your rights actually are before the worst happens — you are in the right place. We are going to tell you everything we know about how these cases work in Texas, from the statute that makes striking a parked emergency vehicle a violation of law, to the medical reality of a traumatic brain injury that does not show up on a standard CT scan, to the insurance math that determines whether a catastrophic injury is fully compensated or quietly underpaid. On January 11, 2020, a Lubbock Fire Rescue firefighter was struck by a vehicle while working the scene of a car accident in icy conditions on a Lubbock roadway. The same incident killed Lieutenant Eric Hill of Lubbock Fire Rescue and Police Officer Nicholas Reyna of the Lubbock Police Department. The firefighter who survived suffered a traumatic brain injury and multiple fractures throughout his body, requiring extensive surgical intervention and…

Two People Are Dead After a Driver Ran a Stop Sign at Treva and Greenlee in Odessa — Here Is What the Law Says and What Your Family Needs to Do Right Now If you are reading this because someone you love was killed at the intersection of Treva Avenue and Greenlee Avenue on the evening of April 8, 2026, we want you to hear this first: your loved ones did nothing wrong. The Texas Department of Public Safety has already confirmed the cause. An Acura TL was traveling westbound on Treva Avenue, where it had the right-of-way, when a Mitsubishi Outlander traveling southbound on Greenlee Avenue disregarded a stop sign and crashed into it. The Acura’s driver and passenger — two people who were simply crossing an intersection they had every legal right to cross — were pronounced dead at the scene. The driver of the Mitsubishi walked away with minor injuries and was taken to Medical Center Hospital in Odessa. That asymmetry — two people dead, the at-fault driver treated and released — tells you something about the physics of this crash that matters to the case. We will get to that. But right now, the thing you…

Fatal Midland County Motorcycle Crash: Wrong-Way Driver Without Headlights Kills Odessa Man If you are reading this because someone you love was killed on Fairgrounds Road on the night of May 29, we want you to hear this first: the reported facts say he was doing everything right. He was in his lane. He was wearing a helmet. He was riding a motorcycle he had chosen, on a road he knew, in the direction he was supposed to be going.

Hydrogen Sulfide Killed Two People at an Odessa Oil Facility — What Their Families Need to Know The Permian Basin runs on sour gas. The crude that comes up from the wells around Odessa carries hydrogen sulfide — a poison so fast and so quiet that a man can walk out to check a pump and never walk back. And when his wife comes looking for him, she does not walk back either. That is not a freak accident. That is the exact pattern hydrogen sulfide has followed in the oilfield for decades, and the companies that run these facilities know it down to their bones. Two people died that way in Odessa on October 26, 2019. An oilfield worker went to check a pump at a company facility and was overcome by H2S. His wife came looking for him when he stopped answering his phone. She was overcome too. Both of them died at the facility. Now, more than five years later, two West Texas companies and a company executive have been criminally convicted for it. The operator and a service company were ordered to pay a combined $1.4 million in criminal fines. The executive was sentenced to five…

Ector County H2S Gas Deaths: When an Oilfield Pump House Becomes a Killing Field The phone call comes at night. Or the silence comes — the phone that doesn’t ring, the text that doesn’t get answered, the drive out to the site because something felt wrong. That is how these stories begin in the Permian Basin. A husband is sent to check a pump house on a Saturday night. He doesn’t come back. His wife goes looking for him. She doesn’t come back either. And the children — the ones who stayed in the truck, who didn’t know yet that the invisible gas outside had already taken everything — they are the ones left to tell what happened. If you are reading this because someone you love was killed by hydrogen sulfide at an oilfield site in Ector County or anywhere in the Permian Basin, we want you to understand one thing before anything else: what happened was not an accident in the way the company will try to frame it. H2S deaths in oilfield operations are the foreseeable result of failures in training, monitoring, and safety systems that the industry has known how to prevent for decades. The law…

Odessa Jury Awards $262.5 Million — When a Bar Chooses Profit Over Safety, Texas Law Holds Both the Drunk Driver and the Bar That Overserved Him Accountable If you are reading this because someone you love was hurt by a drunk driver in Odessa — or anywhere in the Permian Basin — you already know the feeling. The anger. The confusion. The questions that come at 2 a.m. when the hospital room is quiet and the bills are starting to pile up and nobody from the insurance company has called you back yet. You know the drunk driver is responsible. What you may not know is that under Texas law, the bar that kept pouring drinks into a person who could barely stand can be held responsible too — for a significant share of what your family has lost. An Ector County jury just told this community exactly that. On June 3, 2021, a 32-year-old Odessa man named Isaac Sanchez was stopped on his Harley-Davidson at the red light where Andrews Highway meets Yukon Road, waiting his turn like every other person on that road. Behind him was a drunk driver who had been served approximately 19 alcoholic drinks over…

When a Hospital in Odessa Fails a Laboring Mother: Birth Injury, HIE, and the Law That Follows If you are reading this at two in the morning, sitting next to a crib your child may never climb out of, we need you to hear something first: what happened to your baby was not a complication. It was a cascade of preventable failures, and the fact that you are searching for answers means you already know that. You may have been told that uterine rupture is a “known risk” of prior C-sections. That is a true sentence used to cover up a false story. The truth is that the standard of care exists precisely to prevent that risk from becoming a catastrophe — and when a hospital in Odessa or Midland ignores that standard for hours, the brain damage that follows is not an act of God. It is a medical mistake measured in minutes, and the law gives your family a path to hold the people responsible for it. We are Attorney911 — The Manginello Law Firm. We handle catastrophic injury and wrongful death cases in Texas, including birth injury and medical malpractice claims. We are writing this page as…
