Industrial Plant Accidents

Dangerous conditions within industrial plants can lead to mishaps--with tragic consequences. Toxic chemicals, heavy equipment, and insufficient safety programs contribute to an atmosphere conducive to accidents.

Many injured workers think that their only remedy is a claim under workers' compensation laws. However, if third parties are responsible, the worker may make a claim in court against those third parties. The Buzbee Law firm knows the ins and outs of refinery and chemical plant work. We have been lead counsel in most of the major refinery accidents that have occurred in the State of Texas for the past ten years.

The Buzbee Law Firm has helped hundreds of workers injured in industrial plant accidents to recover compensation for their medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
