Why Deer Park Victims Trust Bret Griffin
Deer Park is a city built by the energy industry, home to refineries, chemical plants, and logistics operations that keep Texas running. With that power comes risk. The same companies that drive the economy often expose workers and residents to dangerous conditions, from chemical exposure to heavy machinery accidents.
Bret Griffin understands these dangers. He grew up on the Texas Gulf Coast and has spent his career representing people who have been hurt in the very industries that define this region. His experience as a State District Judge gives him a deep understanding of how judges and juries view evidence, while his training through the Gerry Spence Method makes him a persuasive and authentic communicator in the courtroom.
Clients choose Bret Griffin because he listens, he prepares, and he delivers. He does not see clients as case numbers. He sees them as people who deserve to be heard.
Over the years, Bret has represented refinery workers, truck drivers, contractors, and families across Deer Park and the greater Houston Ship Channel. His commitment to service and justice has earned him a reputation as one of the Gulf Coast’s most trusted personal injury attorneys.
Understanding Texas Personal Injury Law
Texas law gives accident victims the right to hold negligent parties accountable, but that does not mean it is easy. Corporations and insurance adjusters know how to stall, deny, and minimize claims. Without experienced legal representation, many victims never recover the compensation they are owed.

Insurance companies often exploit this law to argue that victims deserve less. Bret Griffin’s firm fights back with solid evidence, expert testimony, and proven strategy.

Refinery and Chemical Plant Accidents in Deer Park
Deer Park sits at the heart of the Houston Ship Channel, one of the most industrialized areas in the United States. Refineries and chemical plants here, including facilities operated by Shell, Dow, and others, are vital to the economy but carry constant risks.
When refineries cut corners on safety, the consequences can be catastrophic. Explosions, toxic leaks, and fires have left workers with life-altering injuries and families with devastating losses.
Common causes of refinery and plant accidents include:
Equipment failures or maintenance neglect
Pipeline and valve leaks
Poorly enforced safety protocols
Inadequate worker training
Exposure to toxic chemicals or fumes
Bret Griffin has extensive experience handling industrial injury cases, working with experts in engineering, OSHA compliance, and chemical safety to prove negligence. These cases often require a deep understanding of refinery operations and the ability to take on powerful corporate defense teams.
