Our Workers Compensation Lawyers are Helping Victims of the LyondellBasell Industries Facility Chemical Leak

Last week, on July 27th, a harmful chemical leak occurred at the LyondellBasell Industries Facility. The leak left 2 people dead and 30 people in the hospital due to exposure to the dangerous chemical, glacial acetic acid, which causes irritation and burns to the skin and difficulties breathing and swallowing.

At VB Attorneys, we are experienced in advocating on behalf of those who are left injured as a result of their company’s negligence. Not only have we helped numerous workers previously injured at a Lyondell plant fire, but we are currently representing numerous injured workers from this recent incident. We are working with the injured workers to investigate the chemical leak, as well as the negligence that caused this avoidable incident. 

Experience matters.

We have investigated fires and explosions before, including but not limited to:

• Kuraray America Eval explosion and fire injures 22 people
• A massive explosion and fire at an Enterprise Products petrochemical facility
• Valero refinery explosions in Texas City
• Explosion at a natural gas storage facility

We Are Here to Help.

If you have been injured in an accident that was caused by your negligent employer, our dedicated legal team will advocate for your rights. It is a federal and state regulation that workers are able to complete their job in a safe work environment. We are here to hold companies accountable when they do not protect their employees.
