Arnold & Itkin Representing 12+ Deer Park PEMEX Gas Leak Victims

Arnold & Itkin filed suit for the family of a worker who was killed in the PEMEX hydrogen sulfide leak in Deer Park. Our suit will hold PEMEX and other responsible parties accountable for the pain and suffering our client endured before he succumbed to his injuries, as well as the losses his family will endure in his absence.

“There is no excuse for these deadly chemical plant disasters,” Kurt Arnold said to Fox News. “As the industry matures and technology improves, chemical plants should be getting safer, yet they are getting more dangerous. These companies are cutting corners on safety at the expense of workers and their families.”

Arnold & Itkin also represents more than a dozen other workers injured in this incident.

Hydrogen Sulfide Exposure Creates Permanent Harm

The tragic gas leak occurred on October 10, sending 35 workers to the hospital and claiming the lives of two contractors working at the plant. Hydrogen sulfide is highly corrosive and flammable, and the long-term effects of concentrated exposure can leave survivors with memory problems, headaches, and impaired motor function.

The Chemical Safety Board (CSB) has launched its investigation of the incident, but CSB investigations can take several months, with findings not going public for a year or longer. These workers can’t afford to wait that long.

No matter how big the companies at fault are, our firm is prepared for the fight. With over $20 billion won and numerous record-setting plant accident cases across the U.S., our record speaks for itself.
