What to Do After a Plant Explosion
- Get medical care immediately, even if you feel okay. Blast injuries and smoke or chemical inhalation don't always show symptoms right away.
- Document what you can, safely, including photos and the names of anyone who witnessed the event.
- Be careful what you say to your employer's investigators or insurance representatives before speaking with an attorney.
- Don't wait to reach out. Under Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code § 16.003, you generally have two years to file a claim, but evidence at an industrial site can be repaired or cleared away quickly.
One of the most important things you can do, after seeking medical attention, is to discuss your options with a local Pasadena personal injury lawyer who has experience with plant explosion cases. At SJ Injury Attorneys, a skilled lawyer can get to work immediately, helping you get the treatment you need and protecting your right to compensation.

“I was hit by an 18 Wheeler driving through an intersection and the truck driver denied running the red light. There were no witnesses and we had no way to pay for medical bills. He immediately filed suit and settled our case for a substantial amount of money.”- A.Z.
-
“My car was hit by a guy who was racing down the highway. The impact forced my vehicle into a retaining wall. At the time I was between jobs and Mr. Soileau helped me find medical care. Ultimately, Chris obtained a great settlement for my case.”- S.J.
-
“Right from the beginning, we felt like we had a champion in our corner. His entire staff was great to work with, and Chris never stopped fighting for us. He made the entire process a breeze to work through, and when he took on the responsibility of dealing with the doctor's bill and insurance it freed my wife and I up to concentrate on our healing process. Thanks, Chris Soileau for doing such a fantastic job. The big check at the end was pretty nice too!”- Joey J.

“I knew few attorneys a couple years back when I needed one to represent me in a case involving an accident with my wife. I was introduced to Mr. Soileau one evening while I was out playing golf. He sat down and took time out his golf game and listened to my predicament I was facing. Afterward, by the way, he handled everything so professionally I hired him and his firm to represent me, hoping we'd settle without it going to court. Needless to say we settled out of court within a year and I was well satisfied with the settlement. Thanks again to Chris Soileau. I'd recommend them to anyone needing a great down to earth attorney, who has a family and wants to know you personally.”- Paul R.
-
“Mr. Soileau represented me in a car accident that occurred in November 2014 where I suffered a herniated disc to my neck requiring surgery. After surgery the medical bills were piling up which caused me quite a bit of stress worrying about how all of the medical bills were going to get paid. As my case was complicated and took almost 2 years to work through, Mr. Soileau and his staff were very understanding of my situation throughout the whole ordeal. They took the time to answer my questions, assist with getting the appropriate medical care and kept me in the loop throughout the process. The outcome was much better than I expected. I highly recommend Mr. Soileau and will refer my family and friends if they ever find themselves in need of his services.”- J.N.
-
“We contacted Mr. Soileau after being rear-ended in Kemah, Texas. When we contacted Mr. Soileau we had no health insurance and we were not sure what to do. He helped us find doctors who would work with us and then went on to settle the case for the maximum amount of all insurance policies available.”- J.M.
