UNION PUMP CO. V. ALLBRITTON
898 S.W.2d 773 (Tex. 1995)
NATURE OF THE CASE: This was a products liability action.
FACTS: Allbritton (P) was a trainee employee of Texaco. A pump manufacture by Union Pump
(D) caught fire and ignited the surrounding area. P assisted in abatement of the fire. The
fire was extinguished and P volunteered to assist in fixing a nitrogen purge valve. P
reached the valve, accomplished the repairs, and on the way back was injured when she hopped
or slipped off a pipe rack. Her supervisor admitted that he chose to walk over the pipe rack
rather than taking a safer alternative route. P sued D in product liability under three
different theories; negligence, gross negligence and strict liability. D moved for a summary
judgment. The trial court granted, the appeals court reversed and the matter came before
this court.
