pipeline and refinery incidents

Refinery accidents, pipeline explosions and natural gas explosions are only a few of the type of major cases involving the petrochemical industry. Some of the common tragedies associated with the manufacturing and storage of petroleum or natural gas accidents include:

Refinery owners are obligated to provide a work environment that is properly maintained, meeting safety and environmental guidelines and regulations. When they fail to meet these standards, explosions and other accidents can result in severe injuries to workers and people near the site of the accident. These accidents are often times caused by the negligent behavior of owners or managers, by defects in equipment or by inadequate safety measures. In these and certain other cases, the victims and their families may be eligible for financial compensation.

  • Refinery and Pipeline Explosions
  • Burns (Fire, steam and chemical)
  • Chemical Releases / Chemical Spills
  • Falls and fall restraint failure

The injuries associated with petrochemical and refinery accidents (including burns from explosions and scalding liquid, and spinal cord and head injuries from falls) often result in serious injuries that prevent the injured worker from ever returning to the job.
