Plants, refineries, chemical facilities, construction projects, fabrication yards, warehouses, and other industrial sites often bring several companies onto the same worksite. Understanding who controlled the work, equipment, premises, and safety decisions is often central to the case.
Behind every refinery fire, explosion, or chemical release are workers and families whose lives may change in seconds. From its Clear Lake office, Horton Legal Group serves the plant and refinery communities along the Houston Ship Channel, Baytown, Texas City, Pasadena, Deer Park, La Porte, and Galena Park. Serious cases may involve burns, blast injuries, inhalation injuries, amputations, or death, with responsibility spread among operators, contractors, maintenance companies, and equipment manufacturers.
