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 determine why the explosion occurred.  

Causes of Explosion Accidents

Explosions may be caused by several factors, including:

  • the fault of the owner or operator of the premises
  • the fault of a contractor
  • 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 an independent investigation to determine the fault of the explosion and the responsible parties.
