Kinder Morgan Flash Fire

On April 19, 2024, a fire broke out at Kinder Morgan’s Galena Park facility during planned maintenance work. Officials believe the fire might have been caused by a flammable chemical mixing with air and encountering a heat source.

Kinder Morgan is one of the largest energy infrastructure companies in the country and has faced multiple safety issues in the past. In 2020, the Galena Park facility received four citations for “serious” safety violations. These incidents underscore the ongoing risks at such facilities.

The recent flash fire injured several third-party contractors, who suffered burns ranging from first to third degree. For workers and their families, such incidents are not only traumatic but can lead to significant financial burdens due to medical expenses and lost wages. Understanding your legal rights is crucial in navigating the aftermath of such incidents.
