A Texas jury awarded $82.5 million in damages to the family of a man who died in a 2007 explosion at Houston-based Hanover Compressions L.P., a natural gas processing plant in Hood County.
The company, which has since been renamed Exterran Energy Solutions L.P., constructed, engineered and installed the natural gas processing plant that the jury said was grossly negligent in the death of 27-year-old Joshua Wade Petrie, an employee of Fort Worth, Texas-based Quicksilver.
Gas workers have enough risks without adding to the risk by lack of employer protection. Workers know some of the risks. But adding to those risks by individual negligence or under-training employees increases the on-the-job danger tremendously.
