Factory Accident Lawsuits

Hundreds of thousands of workers are employed by factories in the state of Texas, including Austin, Dallas-Fort Worth, Houston, San Antonio, and other cities.  

Some of the most common types of factories in Texas include:  

  • Automotive and motor vehicle factories 
  • Aerospace factories 
  • Beverage factories 
  • Food manufacturing factories 
  • Machinery factories 
  • Semiconductor factories  
  • Tobacco factories 
  • Production technology factories 

Because of the large machinery, heavy equipment, and large objects found at jobsites such as these, factory workers are at risk of suffering serious and potentially fatal injuries in the workplace. 

Some of the most common types of factory accidents include: 

  • Chemical exposure 
  • Electrocution or other electrical injuries 
  • Falling objects 
  • Falls from height 
  • Forklift or other vehicle accidents 
  • Machinery or equipment accidents 
  • Slips and falls 

When accidents like these occur, Texas factory workers may be at risk of suffering serious and potentially fatal injuries, including: 

  • Amputations or loss of limbs 
  • Broken bones or fractures 
  • Concussions

  • Cuts or lacerations

Plant Accident Lawsuits

The petrochemical industry has traditionally been one of the largest employers in the state of Texas. Millions of Texans have worked at petrochemical plants across Texas, including Beaumont, Brownsville, Corpus Christi, Harlingen, Houston, Midland, Odessa, Port Arthur, and Sugar Land. 

Some of the most common types of petrochemical plants in Texas include chemical plants, chemical refineries, oil refineries, and synthetic rubber plants. Dozens of power plants are also operated across Texas. 

These petrochemical plants include facilities operated by: 

  • Chevron Phillips 
  • Dow Chemical 
  • ExxonMobil 
  • Formosa Plastics 
  • Motiva 
  • LyondellBasell 

Because of the dangerous chemicals, heavy equipment, and hazardous working conditions found in some plants, workers at these jobsites may be at risk of suffering serious accident, such as: 

  • Chemical spills or chemical exposure 
  • Crush or “caught-between” accidents 
  • Electrical accidents 
  • Falls from heights 
  • Fires and explosions 
  • Mechanical or equipment injuries 

Plant employees who are injured in an accident may be in danger of suffering serious or potentially fatal injuries, such as: 

  • Amputated limbs 
  • Broken bones and fractures 
  • Cancer 
  • Electrocution 
  • Severe burns 
  • Spinal cord injuries 
  • Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) 

If you or a member of your family worked at a petrochemical or power plant in Texas and suffered these or other injuries, you or your family may qualify to file a personal injury or wrongful death claim with a plant accident lawsuit and receive compensation.
