Matagorda County Chemical Plant Worker Files Lawsuit After Injured in Ammonia Release

Matagorda County Chemical Plant Worker Files Lawsuit After Injured in Ammonia ReleaseHouston, Texas (March 10, 2025) – Partner Mo Aziz of the law firm of Abraham, Watkins, Nichols, Agosto, Aziz & Stogner and attorneys Edward Keenan, George Hinkle along with Hilda Sibrian, of the Law Offices of Hilda L. Sibrian, have filed a lawsuit on behalf of Luis Arturo Solano Aguilar one of the workers reportedly injured in a chemical release at a Matagorda County refinery on Friday, March 7, 2025.

That afternoon, Mr. Aguilar was working as a contractor at the refinery when hazardous release of toxic gases, including ammonia, was uncontrollably discharged into the atmosphere within and around the facility. As a result, Mr. Aguilar was exposed to harmful fumes and suffered serious injuries while attempting to escape.

The incident took place at a chemical refinery owned by OQ Chemicals Corporation, a foreign corporation with its principal place of business located in Harris County, Texas.

Commenting on the lawsuit, Attorney Mo Aziz stated, “we represent many injured workers including two that were life flighted. This is a clear breach of process safety management that led to an uncontrolled release of hazardous chemicals.”

Attorney Hilda Sibrian added, “Mr. Aguilar feared for his life when this release occurred. Worker safety should always be the highest priority at a facility like this.”
