Your personal injury lawyer can help you calculate your recoverable damages, which may include:

  • Medical Bills
  • Income Loss
  • Property Damage
  • Pain & Suffering
  • Emotional Distress
  • Lasting Disfigurement
Beaumont Plant and Refinery Explosion Lawyer

When you took a job at the Exxon Mobil Plant in Beaumont, you knew the risks––working in tough weather conditions, being on your feet all day. But upon hiring, you were assured that your employer and other parties would keep you safe from disasters, such as refinery explosions. Yet, here you are in the aftermath of such an event, dealing with serious injuries and unable to provide for your family. 

Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers guides personal injury cases to fair conclusions. Plain and simple. A Beaumont personal injury lawyer can identify the party responsible for your injury and seek appropriate compensation.

Our personal injury team has decades of experience handling construction accident and workplace injury claims, and we’re confident in our ability to manage your plant and refinery explosion case. 

The Benefits of Hiring Our Plant and Refinery Explosion Attorneys

At our law firm serving Texas, we never stop fighting for injured clients. Here’s a prime example of our lawyers in action. 

Our client suffered disfiguring third-degree burns after a pipe burst at his oil refinery. Despite being employed by the company for years, his employer offered nothing beyond basic workers’ compensation––which wouldn’t even cover the full cost of his lost income. With our team, we recovered $42 million for our client’s losses. 

Our law firm fights equally hard for you. When building your case, we will:

  • Investigate the workplace explosion
  • Identify the negligence that caused it
  • Assess your recoverable damages
  • Handle all case-related communications 
  • Complete and submit all documentation 
  • Consult industry and medical experts

We also handle negotiations from start to finish, presenting compelling evidence and fighting for the best possible outcome. If an acceptable settlement is not available, we represent you in court and keep fighting for a favorable resolution.

Our Beaumont Plant and Refinery Lawyers Seek Financial Recovery for You

There’s no such thing as a minor oilfield explosion. In its aftermath, you could find yourself out of work, unable to care for yourself, and struggling to make ends meet. You deserve financial recovery that reflects those hardships. 

A settlement or court award could include coverage for: 

  • Loss of current earnings
  • Loss of future earning ability
  • Disfigurement and impairment
  • Physical pain and suffering
  • Mental and emotional trauma
  • Loss of enjoyment of life

If you’re here because you lost a loved one, know that you’re not alone. We turn our condolences into actionable support. In this instance, we seek financial recovery for your loved one’s funeral, end-of-life care costs, and lost income.

  • Dennis Buford: “Having an accident is scary…We didn’t know what to do or expect; all I heard was horrible things…I can honestly say [they] treated me like family. ALWAYS GRATEFUL.”

Causes of Plant and Refinery Explosions in Texas

Oil and chemical plants are dangerous places to work. To promote employees’ safety, companies with industrial facilities in Jefferson County should: 

  • Carefully store and regulate dangerous chemicals
  • Prevent airborne debris and falling objects 
  • Properly train and vet new and current employees
  • Properly inspect and maintain the site’s equipment and machinery

If you or a loved one was injured in a plant where these safety measures were not taken, our attorneys will review, investigate, and document your case. Security camera footage, maintenance logs, and eyewitness testimony can go a long way in proving your injury’s cause. 

Explosion Injuries and Treatment Protocols

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), victims of massive explosions can suffer:

  • Vision loss
  • Hearing loss
  • Internal organ damage
  • Limb and digit loss
  • Head and brain damage
  • Neck and spine injuries
  • Lung damage

Reaching maximum medical improvement may involve a series of skin grafts, surgeries, and other life-saving procedures. As you already know, treatment can get expensive, with even blood tests costing hundreds of dollars. Your plant and refinery lawyer serving Beaumont seeks compensation for your past, present, and future treatment costs.

I thank God for Digger & David. I don’t know what we would have done if it hadn’t have been for them.

Companies With Plants and Refineries in Beaumont, Texas

At Exxon Mobil’s Beaumont refinery, 366,000 barrels of crude oil are processed every single day. Its product offerings include synthetic fluids, lubricant base stocks, and various oils and greases, including aviation grease and synthetic motor oil.

Local Plant Explosions in the News

According to National Public Radio (NPR), a TPC Group plant in Port Neches, near Beaumont, was strong enough to rattle the windows and doors of nearby buildings. The 2019 explosion was caused by the company’s failure to appropriately store popcorn polymer, which led to a dangerous buildup. Its cause also included the company’s failure to regularly flush pipes and properly care for equipment that was not in use.

Liability for Plant and Refinery Explosions

In addition to the company and its failure to appropriately adhere to safety protocols, potentially liable parties in oilfield explosions can include third-party companies, vendors, and suppliers who frequent the facility. 

When our plant and refinery explosions attorney represents you, we take time to investigate every potential cause. This grants valuable insight into who caused the explosion and who should pay for your losses.

The reassurance from Digger and his staff gave me that renewed hope that it’s going to be okay down the road.
