Explosion Accidents & Injuries

Los Angeles Accident Lawyers

An explosion in the workplace is most often catastrophic. Although many construction site accidents and other workplace accidents may be isolated incidents affecting only one or two workers, an explosion can cause serious or fatal injury to numerous workers, visitors to the site, and even passersby. On construction sites in particular, due to unsteady scaffolding or exposed gas lines or electrical panels, an explosion may cause widespread devastation to the property and all those in its vicinity.

Explosion Accidents: Causes and Types of Injuries

An explosion may be caused by negligence on the part of a worker or employer, due to inexperience, improper training or a lack of standard safety protocols, or even as the result of a simple mistake. A machinery defect may also result in an explosion. Depending on the specific situation, victims in an explosion accident may suffer from serious burns, broken bones and fractures, crush injuries, damage to internal organs, amputation, disfigurement, or death.

Fortunately, the victim of an explosion accident in Los Angeles may be able to recover financial compensation or benefits from a personal injury lawsuit or workers' compensation claim.
