Explosion Accident Attorney
Last updated on September 6, 2024
When someone is involved in an unexpected explosion, it can lead to severe, life-altering injuries. These may include third-degree burns, internal bleeding, traumatic brain injuries (TBIs), disfigurement and scarring, infections and mobility limitations – just to name a few examples. Explosions may also harm numerous people at once, as they can be mass casualty events. This is likely if the explosion happens in a public place, like a store, a school or a local business.

Types Of Explosions And Injuries
Each case is unique, and there are many different potential types of explosions, including:
- Gas
- Chemical
- Electrical
- Thermal
- Mechanical
These events can happen without warning, such as a gas leak explosion in a restaurant or a hotel. Because these explosions are so violent and sudden, they can lead to serious injuries, such as:
- First, second or third-degree burns
- Loss of limbs
- Loss of sight
- Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
- Scarring
- Nerve damage
- Pulmonary barotrauma
- Concussions
- Internal organ injuries
- Spinal cord injuries
In some cases, explosion victims suffer fatal injuries, leaving behind devastated loved ones and dependents, who also deserve compensation.
