Explosions

Explosions usually involve catastrophic injury or death, frequently changing the lives of those involved forever.

Explosion cases can occur in industrial facilities, refineries and other worksite areas.  If an explosion occurs, the first priority is the safety, health and welfare of all involved.  Frequently the scene of an explosion needs to be evaluated by both the premises owner and representatives of the injured party in order to evaluate why the explosion occurred.  
Explosions may be caused by the fault of the owner or operator of the premises, the fault of a contractor or a failure of the device/equipment that caused the explosion.  The evaluation of an explosion is frequently accompanied by a formal investigation by governmental agencies.  It is important to evaluate all investigative reports in determining the cause of an explosion.  In many cases, it is important to obtain independent investigation to determine the fault of the explosion and the responsible parties. 

There are legal deadlines that apply to your claim if you or a family member is injured in an explosion.  If the claim is not timely filed against all responsible parties, you may not be able to recover for your injury.  Our office will evaluate applicable deadlines in evaluation of your claim.
