The explosion sent burning oil into the air, raining down onto Mr. Soroka and causing second- and third-degree burns across his body.<\/p>\n<p>The complaint alleges that the defendants were fully responsible for the failed equipment and the worksite in general, and that their negligence and gross negligence created unsafe conditions. Failures cited include improper design and inspection of equipment, failure to provide safe warnings or procedures for energizing high-voltage transformers, and failure to maintain a reasonably safe workplace.<\/p>\n<p>Several defendants are further accused of premises liability, as they allegedly owned or controlled the site and failed to mitigate the dangerous conditions that led to the accident.<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Soroka suffered life-altering injuries, including severe burns, physical impairment, disfigurement, and long-term disability. The petition states he has already incurred substantial medical expenses and faces continuing treatment needs, as well as a loss of past and future earning capacity. The lawsuit seeks compensatory damages for these losses, as well as exemplary damages on grounds that the defendants acted knowingly and recklessly in disregarding worker safety.<\/p>\n<p>The plaintiff is represented by <span class=\"xn-location\">Texas<\/span> burn injury attorneys <span class=\"xn-person\">Jason Itkin<\/span>, <span class=\"xn-person\">Noah Wexler<\/span>, <span class=\"xn-person\">Trevor Courtney<\/span>, and <span class=\"xn-person\">Daniel Cassee<\/span> of Arnold &amp; Itkin LLP.
