Refinery Explosions

Industrial Accidents and Oil Refinery Disasters

Refinery fires and explosions are relatively rare events, due in large part to the extremely strict federal safety regulations in place. When negligent safety practices cause accidental injury or death, it is often the case that only immediate and determined investigation can uncover the necessary proof.

If you were severely injured or a loved one was killed in an oil refinery explosion anywhere in the United States, it is vitally important to obtain experienced legal counsel as soon as possible. The company and its insurance agents are almost certainly taking any legal steps available to limit your opportunity to seek the full financial compensation you may deserve.

The Texas law firm of Stevenson & Murray can offer practical legal advice and dedicated, highly-experienced representation to victims of refinery accidents and explosions nationwide. Based on a thorough understanding of the petrochemical industry — the laws, the regulatory agencies, common safety failures and legal tactics — the lawyers at our firm can take rapid action to ensure that your rights are protected. Contact us today for a free consultation. All consultations are strictly confidential, and will not be shared with your employer.
