Common Refinery Plant Explosion Injuries

Explosions at a refinery plant can result in many severe injuries. You should seek immediate medical treatment for common injuries such as:

Burns

Refinery plant explosions often involve dangerous chemical reactions and extreme heat. Individuals caught in an explosion may face thermal or chemical burns, resulting in severe injuries, pain, and scarring. 

Smoke Inhalation

The fires caused by a refinery explosion can result in smoke inhalation. The smoke may contain numerous toxins that can worsen your condition. You may experience damage to your lungs, coughing, and shortness of breath. 

Asphyxia may occur as a result of smoke inhalation.

Lacerations

Exploding debris can strike you in the event of a refinery plant explosion, causing painful cuts and lacerations. It’s essential that you seek immediate treatment for these injuries, especially if they result in heavy bleeding. 

Acoustic Trauma or Hearing Loss

Refinery plant explosions often involve deafening noises. The force of the explosion and the severity of the sound could result in issues with your auditory nerves, leading to permanent hearing loss in some cases. 

Orthopedic Injuries

Finally, you may experience a variety of orthopedic injuries after a refinery plant explosion. Many survivors face:

  • Broken bones
  • Muscle injuries
  • Strains and sprains
  • Spinal cord injuries

Severe injuries can leave you with partial or total paralysis.

What Compensation do You Get for Plant Explosion Injuries?

If you sustained injuries in a refinery plant explosion, you may qualify to receive funds to cover your:

Current and Future Medical Expenses

You may require extensive medical treatment to recover after an explosion. Our team can help you secure funds to cover your:

  • Emergency treatment
  • Medical transport (including in a helicopter or ambulance)
  • Medical tests, assessments, and procedures
  • Hospitalization and medication costs
  • Rehabilitation and physical therapy

We track all of these losses on your behalf. You can help your attorney build a claim by keeping all of your medical records. 

Lost Pay

Depending on your circumstances, you may have to take extensive time off from work to recover from your injuries. In some circumstances, we can help you get compensation to address your lost wages. You may also get funds for your bonuses and raises.

If the explosion leaves you with a disabling condition, you may qualify for funds to cover your diminished earning potential. 

Pain and Suffering

Finally, our team may focus on helping you secure non-economic damages, including funds to cover your mental anguish and emotional suffering. We’ll factor the impact of the accident into your claim for compensation.

How do You Get Compensation for Refinery Plant Explosion Injuries?

Depending on your circumstances, you may have several options to seek compensation for your losses. Some individuals have to file a workers’ comp claim, especially if they sustained injuries while working. 

Generally, Louisiana doesn’t allow you to sue your employer. However, you may have a chance to file a personal injury lawsuit after an explosion if a third party caused the accident. For example, you may file a lawsuit if a faulty safety valve led to the explosion.

A workers’ comp lawyer in Lafayette can review your situation and provide you with information about your options.
