Causes of Catastrophic Refinery Explosions

Refineries and chemical plant disasters are often traced back to clear failures in safety and operations. Understanding the causes of refinery and plant explosions is necessary for establishing liability and building a strong legal case for rightful compensation. Common causes of industrial explosions and fires include:

• Inadequate or improper maintenance
• Improper storage and handling of hazardous materials
• Violations of established safety policies from OSHA and other regulatory agencies
• Lack of proper employee training and poor hiring practices

When an explosion or fire harms someone due to one or more of these negligent factors, the responsible parties must be held accountable.

Severe Injuries Caused by Refinery Accidents

Plant explosions and refinery accidents can result in severe, life-altering injuries or tragic wrongful death. The resulting injuries can require extensive medical treatment and often lead to long-term disability. Common injuries suffered by victims include:

• Burn Injuries: Thermal burns resulting from heat and fire, chemical burns due to caustic substances, and electrical burns that damage tissue require lengthy rehabilitation and can cause scarring.
• Broken Bones and Internal Injuries: Fractures, broken bones, and internal injuries can result due to the force of explosions, falls from heights, or debris descending from above.
• Chronic Exposure Injuries: Workers or even those in the surrounding area after a refinery accident can suffer from sustained and chronic exposure injuries from being exposed to toxic fumes over time, leading to delayed but serious health conditions.
• Respiratory Damage: Workers can suffer immediate injury from inhaling toxic fumes.
• Spinal Injuries: Direct trauma to the spine can cut off communication between parts of the body and the brain, leading to partial or extensive loss of movement and bodily control.
• Traumatic Brain Injuries: From concussions to extensive brain damage, any head injury is not one to mess around with. Permanent disability and death can occur if medical attention is not immediately provided.

For many victims, returning to work or daily life as before is impossible after workplace accidents like these. Hiring legal support can help you and your family pursue compensation for your medical bills and support your financial future as you recover.
