Manor, TX — May 12, 2024, Eric Benitez-Osorio sustained fatal injuries following a work accident at around 5:24 p.m. along Jones Road.
OSHA said that the report happened in the area of Jones Road and Hogeye Road a few miles east of Manor.
According to officials, 24-year-old Eric Benitez-Osorio was working on a trailer when a hose came loose. This caused the trailer bed to pin Eric Benitez-Osorio between the trailer and the frame. Due to this, Eric Benitez-Osorio was fatally injured.
The OSHA statements reported four alleged violation citations and a recommended penalty. No further information is available at this time.

It’s important in these situations to consider that OSHA reports rarely tell the whole story. Even when there are alleged violations, OSHA reports tend to be quite narrow in their scope. As such, navigating Texas work fatality laws (the most complex in the whole country) can take a significant amount of investigations and legal maneuvering. Folks who just assume OSHA will handle all of that typical find themselves unpleasantly surprised later on. However, those who consider all of their options and what evidence and tools they need early on to get a proper resolution will generally have the better outcomes.
