Case Description
Attorneys Kurt Arnold, Kyle Findley, and our legal team secured a $254 million settlement on behalf of more than 30 workers injured in a mass-casualty petrochemical plant explosion.
Like too many catastrophic events at petrochemical facilities, this one was preventable. The company at the center of the case had chosen to cut corners on safety rather than do what was necessary to protect the workers doing the job.
Our clients were on site when the explosion occurred. None of them had any role in causing the incident, but they bore the worst of its consequences. Dozens of men and women were injured while doing their jobs.
We aggressively litigated the case. Our trial team took more than 30 depositions and built a detailed record of what the company did and failed to do to prevent the disaster. That work culminated in a $254 million settlement reached less than two years after the incident.
Arnold & Itkin has a long history of litigating plant explosion cases across the country, securing record verdicts and settlements against the companies responsible. We were proud to deliver this result for our clients and to hold accountable a company whose decisions caused them harm.
Attorney's fees and expenses totaled $104,568,477.74.
