Fires and explosions at industrial plants, refineries, chemical facilities, and manufacturing sites can cause devastating burn injuries, respiratory damage, and death — not only to workers on site, but often to nearby residents and first responders as well. These incidents are rarely accidents in the truest sense; they are frequently the result of deferred maintenance, inadequate safety systems, improper storage of flammable or combustible materials, or a failure to follow basic fire-prevention protocols.
Depending on the circumstances, liability for a plant fire may fall on the facility owner or operator, a contractor performing maintenance or construction, an equipment manufacturer, or a third party responsible for fire-safety inspections. Our firm investigates the fire’s origin and cause, reviews safety and maintenance records, and works with fire investigators and engineers to determine exactly what went wrong and who is responsible.
