What Is an Explosion Accident Claim

An explosion accident claim is a type of personal injury case filed when an explosion results in injury, loss of life, or property damage and another party’s carelessness, negligence, or failure to follow safety regulations contributed to the incident. Explosions can occur in many contexts including workplace accidents involving unsafe equipment, gas leaks, defective products, improper storage of combustible materials, and violations of safety codes.

These claims often involve complicated liability issues and multiple responsible parties, making experienced legal representation essential.

Common Causes of Explosion Accidents

Explosion accidents can occur for a variety of reasons including:

• Improper handling or storage of flammable or explosive materials
• Gas leaks in residential or commercial buildings
• Defective industrial machinery or equipment failures
• Unsafe welding or cutting practices
• Faulty electrical wiring or overloaded circuits
• Negligent maintenance at construction sites
• Failure to comply with safety regulations or building codes
• Improper training or supervision of workers

Determining the cause of the explosion and how negligence contributed is a critical part of building a strong legal claim.

Typical Injuries in Explosion Accidents

Explosion accidents often result in severe and life-changing injuries including:

• Severe burns and scalding injuries
• Traumatic brain injuries
• Amputations and loss of limbs
• Internal organ damage
• Fractures and broken bones
• Respiratory and inhalation injuries
• Spinal cord injuries
• Disfigurement and permanent scarring

These injuries typically require extensive medical treatment, reconstructive surgery, rehabilitation, and long-term care, leading to significant emotional and financial burdens.

What to Do After an Explosion Accident

After an explosion accident, taking the right steps can protect your health and legal rights.

Seek immediate medical attention even if you believe injuries are minor. Prompt care protects your health and creates official documentation of your injuries.

Report the incident to authorities, workplace supervisors, or emergency responders.

Document the scene if it is safe to do so. Take photos of the area, visible injuries, and hazardous conditions that may have contributed.

Collect witness information and preserve all medical records, treatment documentation, and repair or damage estimates.

Avoid giving recorded statements to insurance companies without consulting an attorney.

How Hillstone Law Handles Explosion Accident Cases

Hillstone Law builds strong explosion accident claims by conducting a thorough investigation to determine how the accident occurred and identify all responsible parties. Our process includes collecting all relevant incident reports, maintenance records, safety inspection logs, witness statements, and expert analysis when needed to establish causation and liability.

We consult with industry and safety experts to evaluate equipment failures, workplace conditions, and compliance with applicable safety standards. We review medical records to assess current and future care needs and long-term impacts.

Our attorneys document economic losses such as medical expenses, rehabilitation costs, lost wages, property damage, and non-economic impacts including pain and suffering and emotional distress.

We handle all negotiations with insurance companies and defense counsel so you can focus on healing while we pursue the compensation you deserve.

Compensation Available in Explosion Accident Claims

Victims of explosion accidents may be entitled to compensation for both economic and non-economic damages.

Economic damages may include medical bills, hospital stays, prescription medications, assistive devices, ongoing rehabilitation and therapy, lost wages, reduced earning capacity, and property damage or repair costs.

Non-economic damages may include pain and suffering, emotional distress, loss of enjoyment of life, permanent disability, disfigurement, and trauma.

In fatal explosion cases, surviving family members may pursue wrongful death compensation including funeral expenses, loss of financial support, and loss of companionship.

The total value of a claim depends on the severity of the injuries, treatment needs, long-term impacts, and how the accident affects your life and future.

Insurance Companies and Explosion Injury Claims

Insurance companies often try to reduce the value of explosion injury claims by disputing liability, asserting that injuries were pre-existing, or minimizing the long-term consequences of the accident. At Hillstone Law, we vigorously challenge these strategies by presenting thorough evidence, expert testimony, and comprehensive documentation of the full impact of your injuries.

If a fair settlement cannot be reached through negotiation, we are prepared to take your case to trial.
