Representing Plant Worker Who Suffered Severe Chemical Burns

Catastrophic injury attorneys Kurt Arnold, Adam Lewis, and Ali Poulson filed a case in Harris County, Texas on behalf of a Houston man who sustained severe chemical burns and permanent vision loss.

Our client, a father of three boys, was working at a Lyondell plant in Houston when a pipe exploded, spraying chemicals directly into his eyes. He suffered severe chemical burns to both eyes and permanent vision loss in his left eye—injuries that will affect him for the rest of his life. These devastating injuries could have been entirely prevented if Lyondell had simply cleared the pipe of chemicals before directing our client to perform his work.

This was a basic safety measure that should have been standard procedure. Instead, our client was sent to work on equipment that posed a known hazard, and he paid the price with his vision and his future.

When companies prioritize profits over safety and fail to protect their workers from preventable dangers, innocent people suffer life-altering consequences. Our industrial accident attorneys at Arnold & Itkin are committed to holding Lyondell accountable for this negligence and securing the justice and compensation our client deserves as he faces a lifetime of vision impairment.
