Refinery Injury FAQs

What compensation can I recover after a refinery injury?
You may be eligible for compensation for medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, permanent disability, and long-term care. We’ll identify every dollar you should receive.
Can I sue my employer?
In Texas, if your employer skips workers’ comp (called a “non-subscriber”), you can sue them. You can also sue other companies responsible for your injury, like contractors or equipment makers.
What if multiple companies were involved?
We investigate to find all responsible parties. Going after multiple companies often results in higher compensation than pursuing just one.
How long do I have to file a claim for a refinery injury?
Texas gives you two years from the date of your injury, but evidence disappears quickly. The quicker we start, the stronger your case will be.
Do refinery accidents qualify as catastrophic injury cases?
Absolutely. Many refinery accidents cause life-changing injuries like severe burns, limb loss, or permanent lung damage from chemical exposure, making them devastating injuries.
