Union Pump Co. v. Allbritton

After Union Pump's (defendant) defective pump caused a fire at Texaco's facility, trainee Allbritton (plaintiff) helped extinguish it, and once the fire was out, she and a supervisor were dispatched to address an unrelated emergency nitrogen valve, during which she followed him across a wet, elevated pipe rack (made wet by the earlier firefighting) and slipped, sustaining injuries; she sued Union Pump for negligence and strict liability, and the trial court granted summary judgment for Union Pump before the court of appeals reversed.
