Refinery accident attorney
Refinery accident attorney
for the workers who keep Texas running.
The Gulf Coast runs on its refineries — and refinery work is some of the most dangerous there is. When safety shortcuts turn into explosions, burns, or toxic exposure, the companies lawyer up fast. So should you.
What you're dealing with.
Refinery accidents are rarely simple. A single incident can involve the plant owner, multiple contractors, equipment manufacturers, and safety violations that go back months. The injuries — severe burns, blast trauma, respiratory damage from chemical exposure — are often life-changing.
After a refinery accident, the company's investigators and lawyers move immediately to control the narrative. We move to preserve the evidence, bring in the right experts, and hold every responsible party accountable — not just the most convenient one.
What to do next.
If you're reading this from a hospital bed, your phone, or somewhere worse — you're already doing the most important thing: looking for help. Here's the rest.
Preserve evidence
Scenes get cleaned and repaired quickly. We move to document conditions and secure records before they change.
Don't sign company forms
Plant operators may ask you to sign statements or waivers. Before you do, let us review them.

Why it matters who represents you.
We investigate with experts
Refinery cases turn on technical detail — safety protocols, equipment specs, OSHA standards. We bring in the experts who can show exactly what went wrong.
We pursue every liable party
Plant owner, contractor, equipment maker. These cases often have several responsible parties, and identifying all of them is central to a full recovery.
We handle catastrophic injuries with care
Severe burns and permanent injuries require lifelong care. We build cases that account for the full, long-term cost — not just today's bills.

Questions, answered.
I'm a contractor, not a direct employee. Can I still have a claim?
Yes. Contractors and subcontractors injured at a refinery often have strong claims — sometimes stronger, because you may be able to pursue the plant owner or other companies whose negligence contributed to the accident. Your employment arrangement doesn't shut the door.
How long do I have to file?
Texas generally allows two years from the date of injury for these claims, but refinery cases involve evidence that can disappear quickly, so early action matters. (Attorney to verify the deadline that applies to your case.)
What role does OSHA play?
OSHA safety standards are often central to proving a refinery case. Violations of those standards — inadequate safety measures, ignored warnings, poor maintenance — can be powerful evidence of negligence. We know how to use them.
The company has its own investigators. Should I talk to them?
Be careful. The company's investigators work for the company, not for you. Before giving any statement, talk to us. What you say can be used to shift blame or reduce what you're owed.
What does it cost to hire you?
Nothing upfront. We work no win, no fee — our payment comes from the recovery, only if we win. If we don't, you owe us nothing.
