Conway Waak Jr. and Marlene Waak D/B/A Carmine Charolais Ranch and Carmine Charolais Ranch

**Ranch Workers' Family Sues After Fatal Workplace Incident** This case involved a tragic workplace accident at Carmine Charolais Ranch in Texas. Family members of Raul Amparo Zuniga Ortiz Jr. filed a wrongful death lawsuit against the ranch owners, Conway and Marlene Waak, after he died in a work-related incident. The family also brought personal injury claims, suggesting others were hurt in the same incident or related circumstances. Unfortunately, the court documents provided don't reveal what the court ultimately decided in this case. The lawsuit was filed in 2018, but the final outcome remains unclear from the available information. **What This Means for Workers:** Even without knowing the final decision, this case highlights important workplace safety issues for ranch and agricultural workers. When employers fail to provide safe working conditions and workers are killed or injured as a result, families have the right to seek justice through wrongful death and personal injury lawsuits. Ranch work involves significant hazards, and employers have a legal duty to protect their workers from preventable accidents and deaths.
