Southeast Houston is home to one of the largest concentrations of refineries and petrochemical plants in the country. From the facilities lining Highway 225 in Pasadena and Deer Park to the massive industrial operations in Baytown, Channelview, and La Porte, thousands of workers face dangerous conditions every day. While these jobs are critical to the region’s economy, they also carry a high risk of serious injury when safety procedures fail.
Gilman & Allison, LLP represents workers injured in refinery accidents throughout Southeast Houston and along the Houston Ship Channel. Our attorneys understand the industrial environment and the unique hazards present inside refineries, including exposure to high-pressure systems, volatile chemicals, and heavy machinery. We handle cases involving plant explosions, flash fires, chemical leaks, toxic inhalation, equipment failures, and falls from scaffolding or elevated platforms. These incidents can cause severe burns, broken bones, traumatic brain injuries, and other life-altering harm.
When a refinery injury occurs, determining what happened is critical. We work quickly to investigate the scene, review safety protocols, and identify whether improper maintenance, inadequate training, or unsafe procedures contributed to the incident.
Many refinery workers in Southeast Houston are employed by contractors or subcontractors rather than the refinery owner itself. After an injury, companies may attempt to limit the situation to a workers’ compensation claim. However, many refinery accidents involve third-party negligence, which can open the door to additional legal claims and greater financial recovery.
Our law firm focuses on identifying all liable parties, including contractors, equipment manufacturers, maintenance companies, and other third parties working inside the facility. We examine incident reports, contractor relationships, inspection records, and safety failures to build strong cases for our clients. This approach is especially important in large industrial areas like Deer Park, Pasadena, and Baytown, where multiple companies often operate side by side within the same plant.
We represent clients suffering from catastrophic injuries such as severe burns, crush injuries, amputations, head trauma, and wrongful death resulting from refinery accidents. These cases often involve significant medical treatment, time away from work, and long-term life changes. Gilman & Allison, LLP is committed to fighting for full compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, future care needs, and the lasting impact these injuries have on workers and their families.
