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

Plants and refineries can be dangerous if not well managed and maintained. If you or someone you love was injured in an explosion at one of these facilities, it can be hard to know where to turn for assistance.

At Laborde Earles, our team members will listen to your version of events with kindness and compassion. If you sign on with us, our Texas City personal injury lawyer can build a strong case file, take on the insurance company—big or small—and fight for the best possible outcome for you.

Common Causes of Texas City Plant Explosions

Plants and refineries are busy, bustling places full of toxic chemicals and substances and heavy machinery and equipment, which can open the door to catastrophic accidents. Potential causes of fires and explosions can include:

  • Improper storage of combustible materials
  • Accumulated dirt, dust, and debris
  • Inadequate employee training
  • New employee inexperience
  • Equipment flaws and malfunctions
  • Poor facility repair and maintenance

Those in the vicinity of the explosion might suffer severe injuries, like burns, loss of limbs, broken bones, traumatic brain injuries, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

Our plant and refinery explosion lawyer will investigate the cause of your accident and build a solid case file that proves your right to recover compensation from the at-fault party.

Compensation for Your Injuries and Related Expenses

Injuries sustained in a chemical, oil, or plastics plant or refinery can result in medical expenses, loss of income, and even loss of life. If our legal team accepts your case, we may demand compensation for your:

  • Current and future medical bills
  • Current and future loss of income
  • Loss of future earning capacity
  • Lasting impairment or disfigurement
  • Physical pain and suffering
  • Emotional pain and suffering

Our attorney may also go after appropriate wrongful death damages for the surviving families of those who lost their lives in plant and refinery explosions.

Previous Texas City Plant and Refinery Explosions

The most cataclysmic incident in Texas City occurred in 2005 when a series of explosions occurred at the BP Texas City refinery, according to the U.S. Chemical Safety Board (CSB). More recently, one worker passed away, and two others were seriously injured after an explosion at the Marathon Galveston Bay Refinery in May 2023.

Financial Liability After a Chemical Plant Explosion

When we pursue compensation for you, we can start by identifying the at-fault party. In some cases, that will be the plant or refinery and its owners. Other potentially liable parties can include third-party vendors, suppliers, visitors, tourists, and others who might be regularly in and out of local plants.

We will explore all possibilities, though, to hold the right party accountable and maximize your compensation.

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