In 2005, one of the largest oil refineries in the world exploded in Texas City, Texas. Responsible for a daily output of some 433,000 barrels of crude which is about 3% of the supply needed to keep America driving on the country’s highways, this was the infamous BP disaster that rocked the world. Killing fifteen innocent bystanders as well as company employees, this event also injured over 100 people who today are still reeling from the aftermath with psychological ramifications, physical disabilities and post-traumatic stress disorders.

Registering 3.5 on the Richter Scale, the monstrous explosion and fire which erupted at the Phillips plastic plant in Pasadena, Texas still haunts many today although it occurred in 1989. Responsible for some 23 deaths and more than 314 injuries, this tragedy cost the company hundreds of millions of dollars in physical damage, loss of business, and wrongful death and personal injury claims with multiple violations attributable to gross negligence.

One of the most horrifying industrial infernos to date, the very recent 2013 Fertilizer plant explosion in West, Texas, north of Waco, killed some 14 people and injured more than 160, while damaging or destroying more than 150 buildings in the process.

Why Do These Disasters Happen?

In the great majority of cases, gross negligence on the part of the employer bears full responsibility. Numerous OSHA violations, fines and deficiencies stand as proven evidence that employers repeatedly disregard the importance of worker safety by ignoring needs for proper equipment maintenance, employee protections around dangerous work conditions, and vigilance about employee health concerns or symptoms while working within unsafe circumstances.

What Are The Consequences of These Tragedies?

Numerous health problems, some very serious, which can result in lifelong disabilities, pain, suffering, dependence on medications, need for repeated surgeries, rehabilitation, counseling, long-term therapies and many other medical needs are a common outcome of these kinds of events. Burns , amputations , respiratory illnesses, and spinal cord injuries often occur as a result of chemical spills, toxic exposures, equipment malfunctions, and falls related to dangerous work conditions.
