Refinery Fire and Explosion Attorneys

by Editor on April 2, 2010

Refinery fires and explosions often lead to serious injury or death.  The same could  be said for gas plant fires and gas plant explosions.  If you’re the victim of a refinery fire or explosion you need legal representation by an experienced refinery fire laywer or attorney. 

One of the most experienced law firms in North America that has gone up against big oil and gas corporations and successfully represented victims of tragic gas explosions is the Chandler, Mathis and Zivley law firm of Lufkin and Houston, Texas.   

If you or someone you know have been injured in a refinery fire, a refinery explosion, a gas plant fire or explosion, or a propane fire or propane explosion, you more than likely have grounds for a lawsuit.  To learn more about your legal rights related to burns, tragic injuries, diabilities, lost time or death of a loved one due to an oil and gas related fire or explosion, consult with an experienced refinery fire attorney or gas explosion lawyer that has many years experience representing clients involved in fire and explosion accidents.   The Chandler, Mathis and Zivley law firm of Texas has that experience.   Call them now toll-free at: 1-877-739-7744 (Houston) or 1-800-657-2230 (Lufkin).

The firm became known worldwide for their successful defense in the famous Brenham propane storage explosion that took place in 1992.  Although numerous suits were settled out of court, W. Perry Zivley served as lead trial counsel for 18 of 22 claimants that chose to take their case to trial.  The initial result was $5.6 million in actual damages and $138 million in punitive damages.  Subsequently, the trial court reduced the judgment to $90 million in punitive damages.

Since the Brenham explosion the firm has gone on to represent many victims of fires and explosions, many due to fires and explosions at refineries, gas plants, petrochemical plants, highway accidents, industrial plants, etc.
