Relevant Texas Law
Residents of Bee Cave pursue these claims under the same Texas statutes that govern all state personal injury actions.
Texas courts recognize claims against plant operators, contractors, and equipment suppliers for injuries caused by explosions on industrial sites. Workers injured while employed by contractors on a plant premises may pursue claims against the plant operator under Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code Chapter 95 when the operator retained control over the work that caused the injury. Nonsubscriber employers face direct negligence suits under Texas Labor Code Section 406.033. The Texas two year statute of limitations for personal injury applies under Section 16.003, and wrongful death claims follow the two year limit under Section 16.003(b).
