What You Need to Know About Plant & Refinery Injuries
Plants and refineries—even those with good safety records—are, by their very nature, dangerous places.
When chemical plant accidents occur, the types and severity of potential burn injuries may be varied, but they have one important thing in common: an injured worker may be entitled to compensation from their employer. The process for acquiring that compensation will depend on the situation.
