Oilfield and Chemical Plant Injury Attorneys

Louisiana Oilfield Injury Lawyers

For years Louisiana’s economy has been bolstered by the hundreds of thriving oil and chemical industries and industrial manufacturing facilities. Many Louisiana families have relied on the livelihoods these industries provide. Unfortunately, the jobs these industries provide are often dangerous and workers face daily risk of injury and even death. The work environments found in these chemical plants and refineries can be extremely dangerous and present serious risks when safety rules and regulations are not followed.

Injuries at these facilities can have life-threatening consequences for employees, their families, and the surrounding communities. Injuries often include:

• Burns and other bodily injuries caused by fires and explosions;
• Exposure to hazardous chemicals and materials through inhalation and physical contact, even including employees unknowingly bringing these hazardous chemicals home on his or her clothes, causing “take home exposure” to occur to their loved ones, and such exposure can have serious health effects; and
• Injuries due to defective or improperly maintained equipment or poorly trained personnel.

If you or your loved ones have been injured due to the negligence of an owner, operator, supervisor, or contractor of a Louisiana oil company or chemical plant, or if you or a loved one has developed health problems due to exposure to hazardous chemicals, please call us to discuss your options. You should not be held responsible for the cost of medical bills and lost wages as a result of someone else’s fault.
