Case Filed for Toxic Ammonia Exposure Caused by CVR Energy

Arnold & Itkin attorneys, led by Noah Wexler, have filed suit in Fort Bend County on behalf of a safety representative who suffered severe lung and bodily injuries during a chemical release at the CVR Energy Nitrogen Plant in Coffeyville, Kansas. While flagging workers to evacuate during the emergency, he became trapped in the toxic cloud and was unable to escape, breathing in dangerous levels of ammonia.

Chemical releases like this are not freak accidents; they are the result of unsafe conditions, poor maintenance, or negligent work practices. As a safety representative, our client was actively trying to protect others when the plant’s failures put his own life at risk.

Arnold & Itkin is honored to represent him. Our work injury lawyers will investigate every breakdown in safety, every ignored warning, and every lapse in maintenance that contributed to this preventable exposure, ensuring those responsible are held accountable.
