Industrial Accident Lawyers

Industrial accidents happen all the time, unfortunately. There is a very long list of safety measures in place to try and prevent accidents at refineries, chemical plants, and other industrial places of business but, in an instant, things can go very wrong. When there is an incident at a refinery, factory, or other type of industrial plant, you could be looking at a very significant personal injury situation (e.g. Deepwater Horizon).

Injuries and deaths associated with industrial accidents can change the lives of the victims and their families forever.

In 2005, a very significant refinery incident occurred in Texas City, Texas when the BP refinery explosion killed 15 people while injuring 180 others. Despite the presence of a team of professional engineers on-site during one of the plant’s normal transitions, something went wrong, and the resulting disaster will never be forgotten.

In 2019, a series of refinery tanks exploded in Midland, Texas, in a chain reaction that took out at least six tanks. Thankfully, while the physical damage was great, injuries were limited in that case.

On May 6, 2023, a plant fire in Deer Park, Texas that brought so much black smoke to the Houston area it looked like storm clouds had covered the entire city, sent nine workers to the hospital. People working in downtown Houston office buildings were able to see heavy smoke and flames coming from the petrochemical site. Deer Park is dotted with chemical refineries and plants and is no stranger to explosions. There have been several over the years and many of them have been deadly.

Injuries occurring at refineries and industrial sites can be serious, even fatal. If you or a loved one has ever been involved in accidents like these, you should consider seeking legal representation.
