Texas Workplace Injury Claims Attorney

There are certain occupations that place the worker at more risk than other occupations. However, employers have a duty to obey safety regulations in order to keep employees safe. Unfortunately, many refineries, construction sites, and industrial plants are found to disregard industrial occupational safety laws and serious accidents result.

When employers are negligent or reckless as to the safety of their workers, in some cases they can be held accountable beyond making workers' comp payments. With Texas as the home to many of the nation's petrochemical companies and oil refineries, the APFFEL LAW FIRM is prepared to investigate these accidents in full detail.
