Got burned at work and question for lawyers

In a nutshell, I took off the cap of a tanker trailer and hot oil @ 225F sprayed all over my arms causing 2/3rd degree burns. There was no SOP in place for this,yet my boss asked me to create one, the following day. Was in the emergency room for 8 hours before getting treated and the safety shower water was as hot as the oil. Both of my forearms will probably be scarred for life. I'm in a union, and finally got treated yesterday. Do I have a case? Thank you

The safety shower water was not as hot as the oil.

You will be scarred for life. I have a huge scar on my leg from 350 degree fryer oil hitting my leg through pants after a filter hose busted. I wasn't in a union, but I did get workman's comp. You have a case for sure

Sure did. There was one fella who was burned worse than I, and they settled with him, and didn't get fired. Except, down the road he did, not showing up for work. Was passing away his cash at a strip club close to work, similar to She-She's or Onyx on Chef Hwy. Doing blow off of fat arses, shite like that.

As a lawyer, I’d advise you to contact an attorney and not the OT.
I will bill you for my time.

I don’t think you can start with “in a nutshell” and then ask if you have a case

Who owns the truck that had the hot oil? Its comp unless there is 3rd party negligence.

Seemed like it at first. Lined up from the "cooling" tower which is always set around 96F.

Have you not watched any archeological movie? Never be the first to open anything. That’s where the boobytraps are. You send in an underling to do that nonsense.

It came from our other facility in Newark NJ

The only claim you will have against your employer is via Worker’s Comp. At minimum, you should get that. IF there is potential fault by a third party (I.e someone not your employer) such as a faulty cap or the oil was pressurized too much, etc. then you may be able to file a lawsuit against those third parties

Basic workers' comp case. Only issue will be the amount of damages.
Posted on 7/16/22 at 6:15 pm to ChestRockwell
Yeah, call a lawyer that does work comp and personal injury work.

NO SOP bro. I worked at Dow Chemical, Shell Geismar, and Marathon Garyville, for a contractor and loaded everything from rail, trucks, to marine docks. All of them had SOP'S no matter what. Dow had a 4 pager on how to wrap Teflon on loading L pipes.
