Shell: Lawsuit Filed Against Oil Giant Over Severe Worker Injuries
DEER PARK, Texas — Shell Chemical L.P. faces a $1 million lawsuit following a catastrophic release and fire that resulted in injuries to numerous workers on May 5.
The lawsuit, filed by the attorneys at Arnold and Itkin, accuses Shell of gross negligence, premises liability, and clear-cut negligence that led to significant injuries suffered by Cristobal Jasso. Burns, along with injuries to Jasso’s neck, back, spine, and other parts of his body, were sustained as a direct consequence of Shell’s irresponsibility.
