The Situation
A small company developed and patented an environmentally friendly product used in the wastewater fracking industry.
To scale production, the company partnered with a large chemical manufacturer.
During production, a catastrophic explosion occurred at the chemical plant, causing widespread damage to the surrounding area, businesses, and community.
The Challenge
The small company faced significant risk, both financially and reputationally.
They needed to:
- Defend themselves against liability claims
- Prove the explosion was not caused by their product or actions
- Recover losses tied to business interruption and damages
- Address potential misuse or theft of their proprietary product
The case was complex, high-stakes, and already nearing trial when Stucky Injury Law was brought in.
