Port Arthur Valero Refinery Explosion Claims
Were You Displaced, Evacuated, or Left With Property Damage After the Valero Explosion?
The explosion and fire at the Valero refinery in Port Arthur forced nearby residents to shelter in place, disrupted neighborhoods, and may have caused property damage, evacuation losses, smoke exposure, inconvenience, and other damages.
If you were affected, do not sign a release or accept a quick cash settlement until you understand your rights.

Valero May Be Offering Quick Settlements
We are investigating reports that Valero representatives or claim handlers may be contacting residents and offering small payments in exchange for signed releases.
A release can permanently give up your right to bring a claim — even if your damages later turn out to be worth more.
Before you sign anything, speak with a lawyer.
You May Have a Claim If You:
- Were ordered to shelter in place
- Were evacuated or displaced from your home
- Missed work or lost income
- Paid for hotel, travel, food, cleaning, or other expenses
- Suffered smoke, soot, odor, or chemical exposure
- Had damage to your home, vehicle, fence, windows, roof, landscaping, business, or personal property
- Experienced headaches, breathing problems, eye irritation, nausea, anxiety, or other symptoms after the explosion
- Were offered money in exchange for signing paperwork
Do Not Sign Away Your Rights for Less Than Your Claim May Be Worth
Large corporations and insurance companies often move quickly after industrial explosions. Their goal may be to limit exposure before residents fully understand what happened, what was released, and what their damages may be.
You deserve answers before you sign anything.
