A $42.5 million recovery for a fatal petrochemical plant accident has vaulted Houston-based Armstrong Lee & Baker LLP to the top of the 2025 Texas rankings.

The record-setting settlement was secured for the family of a worker killed in a preventable industrial incident, drawing attention to the firm’s focus on accountability within the state's hazardous petrochemical sector. Partners Joshua Lee, Scott Armstrong, and C.J. Baker noted that the result underscores a broader mission to challenge negligence in an environment where many employers opt out of standard workers' compensation coverage.

Scott P. Armstrong, the firm's managing partner, emphasized that the recognition highlights the persistent danger facing workers along the Gulf Coast. With this latest award, the firm’s total recoveries for injury victims across the state have surpassed $400 million. This milestone reinforces their standing in complex litigation involving refinery accidents, oilfield injuries, and wrongful death claims, marking a significant shift in how Texas industrial facilities are held liable for safety failures.
