Ferguson Firm Files Lawsuit After Tokai Carbon Explosion Leaves Worker Severely Injured

On behalf of an Oklahoma worker who suffered burns and life-altering injuries, Ferguson Law Firm equity partner Cody A. Dishon has filed a lawsuit, seeking answers following a catastrophic explosion at the Tokai Carbon CB plant in Borger, Texas.

Our client, a hard-working father and husband, was employed as a third-party contractor at the Tokai Carbon CB plant when the explosion occurred on January 27, 2026. He was airlifted to a nearby hospital, where he remains surrounded by his family as he continues to fight for his life.

Mr. Dishon stated:
“Industrial explosions like this are tragically all too common in Texas, a state that consistently leads the nation in serious workplace injuries and fatalities. Companies operating in high-risk industries have a duty to protect the men and women whose labor fuels their profits. Workers deserve better, and companies must do more to protect them.

It is an honor to represent this family in the wake of last month’s catastrophic explosion at the Tokai Carbon plant in Borger. Our thoughts and prayers remain with all those injured and their loved ones, and we are grateful for the swift response of the emergency personnel.

By filing this action, the family seeks the truth, accountability for those responsible, and meaningful change to help ensure that no other workers or families endure a tragedy like this. I am fully committed to making sure their voices are heard and to pursuing the justice they deserve.”
