PERSONAL INJURY

Houston Industrial Accident Attorney

Texas has one of the largest economies in the United States. Texas is home to 27 petroleum refineries that can process over 4.7 million barrels of crude oil per day.  In 2012, Texas grossed more than $264.7 billion a year in exports—more exports than California and New York combined. With this much commerce and industry happening in Texas, it is no shock the State has numerous workplace and industrial accidents. Unfortunately, Texas leads the country in the number of fatal industrial accidents. {1}
Causes of Fatal Industrial Accidents

Houston workplace and industrial accidents can have several causes

Workplace and industrial accidents are mostly caused when companies fail to enforce safety standards, fail to properly maintain equipment, or fail to properly train its employees. Common causes of industrial accidents include:

  • Failing to secure overhead loads
  • Failing to provide fall protection
  • Explosions
  • Chemical releases
  • Failing to maintain the work area
  • Failing to provide proper safety equipment/personal protection equipment (PPE) Equipment with the proper safety equipment removed

The Martin Law Firm investigates the cause of such injuries and holds those responsible accountable for your harms.

Construction workers, oil refinery, and chemical plant workers are exposed to hazards every day. Whether working near toxic and flammable substances or running the risk of being struck by falling objects, there is always a hazard nearby. Although many workers protect their safety by looking out for themselves and their co-workers, they cannot prevent the negligence of another. Owners and operators are required to adhere to both state and federal safety regulations to protect their employees from harm, such as:
