Seadrift Is a Hub of Refineries and Plants, and the Region Has Seen Its Share of Accidents

Seadrift lies on Texas’ Gulf Coast, a region densely populated with refineries, plants, and other industrial operations that expose workers and visitors to substantial safety hazards. Some of the notable plants and refineries in the Seadrift region belong to:

• Dow
• Seadrift Coke L.P.
• X-energy
• BP Chemicals
• Union Carbide
• Helena Chemical

Unfortunately, explosions seem to be a professional hazard that continually plagues industrial industries, and Seadrift is no stranger to such accidents. Many of these accidents are preventable, though, which means victims should seek compensation from liable parties when an explosion, fire, or other disaster causes injury or claims the life of a loved one.

Why Do Explosions Happen at Refineries and Plants Near Seadrift?

Explosions often result from negligence, which can include:

• Failing to replace defective or outdated equipment
• Storing hazardous chemicals in an unsafe manner, including in ways that can cause combustion and leaks
• Failing to properly vet employees and third parties whose negligence may cause an explosion
• Failing to implement and enforce detailed safety protocols

The Texas Tribune notes that Texas leads the country in chemical accidents, and workers in cities like Seadrift face an outsized risk when negligence leads to explosions and other dangerous events. When harmful events happen, you can rely on Laborde Earles to investigate the incident and demand a fair settlement based on your damages.

Who Is Legally Responsible for These Accidents?

Our firm will identify parties who are liable for any explosion that caused you harm. We will evaluate the actions of plant and refinery owners, third parties involved in industrial operations, and employees.
