Representing 3 Workers Injured by High-Pressure Explosion

Arnold & Itkin filed suit on behalf of three men who were severely injured when a high-pressure connection failed at an oilfield plant, causing an uncontrolled release that knocked two workers to the ground while another fell trying to escape the blast. High pressure is one of the most well-known hazards in the oil and gas industry, and companies are required to take clear, proactive steps to protect workers from catastrophic failures like this one.

Instead, these companies ignored the danger, or failed to take it seriously, leading to devastating consequences for these hardworking men. As one attorney on the case, Roland Christensen, explained, “High pressure has to be taken seriously at well sites and plants. Where there’s potential for a pressure release, workers are at an increased risk of injury, so precautions must be taken.”

For more than 20 years, Arnold & Itkin has held oil and gas companies accountable for cutting corners with safety. The firm looks forward to uncovering what went wrong and fighting relentlessly to secure justice for these three injured workers.
