Settlement – Work Injury – Chemical Exposure

The Amaro Law Firm represented a group of plant workers in New Mexico that were exposed to potassium hydroxide, also known as caustic potash, a chemical used in removing organic acids and sulfur compounds in petroleum refineries. The plant workers were exposed to the dangerous chemical, causing them to seek immediate hospital care. The refinery blamed another contractor for their injuries, but the Amaro Law Firm trial lawyers proved that negligence on the part of the refinery caused their exposure. The cases each settled for a considerable and confidential sum.
