Were You Injured or Made Ill After the Roseland Explosion?

On August 22, 2025, multiple explosions and fires erupted at Smitty’s Supply—a lubricants facility near Roseland, Louisiana—forcing a mandatory evacuation within a one-mile radius. While officials initially reported no serious injuries, many residents and workers are experiencing respiratory problems, burning eyes, headaches, nausea, and anxiety after exposure to thick black smoke and oily residue (WBRZ, AP News).

Our experienced team has already spoken with over 100 impacted residents, and Managing Attorney Misti Bryant has been on the news addressing the community’s concerns. If you or a loved one suffered physical injury, illness, or emotional trauma from the Roseland plant explosion, we’re here to help—you may be entitled to compensation.

Explosions broke out around 12:53 p.m., with toxic smoke and soot spreading across neighborhoods.

Schoolchildren were evacuated by bus to the Amite School Board office as a safety measure.

Residents reported oily soot falling onto skin, clothing, and outdoor spaces—raising concerns about exposure risks.

Federal and state agencies, including the EPA, FAA, and LDEQ, are monitoring potential airborne and health hazards.

Frequently Asked Questions About Roseland Explosion Injury Claims

Yes. Many victims suffer respiratory or stress-related injuries without direct burns. If you were medically affected, you may have a valid claim.

What if my child was exposed during evacuation?
