Oil refinery accidents are often devastating for families and workers along the Gulf Coast. Injuries from oil refinery accidents can range from severe chemical burns to spinal cord and head injuries. In the worst cases, families are left to deal with the loss of a loved one. Accident victims and their families often have an opportunity to pursue workers' compensation benefits and additional compensation through a personal injury claim against any negligent third parties.
