Understanding Texas Personal Injury Law
In Texas, personal injury law allows victims to seek justice when another party’s negligence causes harm. But recovering fair compensation is not always straightforward. Large corporations and insurers use teams of lawyers to protect their interests, often at the expense of hardworking people.
Texas follows a comparative negligence rule, which means that even if you were partly at fault for the accident, you may still be entitled to compensation. However, your award can be reduced based on your percentage of fault. This is one of many reasons why it is critical to have a lawyer who knows how to investigate thoroughly, gather evidence, and present your case persuasively.

Baytown’s Refinery, Maritime, and Industrial Risks
Baytown is home to some of the largest energy and industrial facilities in the world, including refineries, chemical plants, and shipping operations along the Houston Ship Channel. While these industries create jobs, they also create danger.
Refinery and industrial accidents often lead to catastrophic injuries such as severe burns, respiratory damage, or even death. Common causes include:
Poor maintenance or outdated equipment
Lack of safety training or supervision
Chemical leaks and toxic exposure
Negligent subcontractors
Explosions caused by improper storage or venting of volatile materials
Maritime and port workers also face unique hazards on the water and docks. These can involve loading accidents, heavy machinery failures, or slip and fall injuries on vessels.
Bret Griffin has represented victims across Texas in refinery, maritime, and industrial injury claims. His firm works with safety engineers, OSHA experts, and medical professionals to identify the true cause of an accident and hold every negligent party accountable.
