Industrial accidents can happen in an instant, and the destruction they cause — injuries, the loss of life, and family upheaval — can take years to comprehend. If you suffered serious injuries or lost a loved one in a plant explosion, a refinery incident, or other large-scale industrial disaster, you face a complicated legal process. You need the help and guidance of a Grapevine industrial accident lawyer who has handled these cases before, understands the industrial defendants, and knows how to hold them accountable.
Your personal injury attorney, Brant Stogner, has spent his legal career representing people whose injuries did not result from everyday accidents. In 2009, he secured a jury verdict of more than $20 million in a third-party industrial injury case, the largest of its kind in the state that year. Brant Stogner brings that same level of focus and dedication to each represented client.
Industrial Accident Litigation Does Not Tolerate Mistakes
The companies responsible for industrial accidents are rarely small operations. They are corporations with legal departments, insurance teams, and a financial incentive to dispute what happened and minimize what they owe you. An industrial accident case almost always involves a fight over liability, and that fight begins the moment the incident occurs.
Grapevine attorney Brant Stogner understands how companies build and defend industrial accident cases. Industrial accident litigation requires a thorough investigation of several factors, including:
- The site
- Equipment
- Safety protocols in place
- Decisions by those responsible for maintaining a safe environment
It also requires identifying every party whose negligence contributed, because in industrial settings, several defendants may be liable. Plant owners, equipment manufacturers, contractors, and third-party operators may all bear responsibility, and investigating each of them is how a case begins to reflect the true scale of what happened.
Our team does not approach these cases as merely negotiations. We build them as though they are going to trial, because that preparation produces results worth accepting. The clients we represent are often fighting some of the most powerful industrial operators in the state. That reality shapes how Brant Stogner works, investigates, and builds a case from the very beginning.
Did Your Injury Occur at a Refinery, Plant, or Other Worksite?
The industrial accident cases we handle involve serious, often permanent harm due to the negligence of a company or third party with an obligation to do better. Examples of industrial accident cases we litigate include:
- Refinery and petrochemical plant explosions
- Large-scale industrial plant accidents and plant fatalities
- Worksite explosions involving third-party liability
- Offshore accidents on platforms, vessels, and related facilities
- Equipment failures and product defects on industrial sites
- Fires and chemical releases resulting from negligent operations
If your industrial accident injury in Grapevine involves a claim against a contractor, equipment manufacturer, or another third party rather than your employer, our legal team could help you hold the responsible parties accountable.
