Fires and explosions at refinery plants happen all too often, particularly in oil-rich areas of the United States such as the area south of Houston, Texas. In many cases, those explosions could have been avoided altogether if proper maintenance and safety procedures had been undertaken by refinery owners. In fact, in one recent case, a refinery explosion and fire resulted from numerous OSHA violations, including obsolete safety procedures, failure to remediate known hazards, and inadequate inspections and testing.
At Harrison Davis, our experienced trial lawyers believe such conditions are inexcusable for the workers, families, and communities who are impacted by refinery plant fires and explosions. We’ve tried numerous cases involving these incidents. In many of those cases, our clients received the maximum compensation allowed by law.
What Kinds of Injuries are Caused by Refinery Fires and Explosions?
Due to the nature of the combustibles at play in refinery fires and explosions, these incidents can be particularly harmful to anyone nearby. Injuries include:
- Lung damage from inhalation of noxious off-gasses
- Eye damage or vision loss
- Hearing damage from loud explosions
- Spinal cord trauma from being blown off high platforms
- Extensive burning and scarring
- Loss of limbs
- Concussions and other head trauma
One of the most critical aspects of taking a refinery explosion case to trial is understanding the long-term impact of the resultant injuries. The trial attorneys at Harrison Davis have handled these cases before. We’ve also kept in touch with former clients who were injured in refinery fires and explosions. Thus, we know first-hand that recovery from these accidents can be a life-long process. We fight to get our clients compensation that will account for this long-term trauma.
