Who Is Liable for a Fire or Explosion Injury?
Identifying liable parties after a fire or blast can be complicated. Our attorneys can untangle corporate supply chains and vendor contracts to identify responsible parties and fight for full accountability.
Some potentially liable parties in fire and explosion injury cases include:
Industrial Plant Operators & Employers
Refineries and chemical plants handle highly volatile materials every day. If a company ignores safety regulations or skips mandatory equipment maintenance to save money, it can be held responsible for the resulting blast.
Property Owners
Landlords and commercial property managers must keep their buildings up to local fire codes. If broken smoke alarms, locked emergency exits, or ignored gas leaks cause your injuries, the owner may face liability.
Third-Party Contractors
Many construction sites and shipyards rely on outside contractors for specialized work. If a third-party electrician or welder leaves a site unsafe and triggers an explosion, that company may be liable for damages.
Product & Machinery Manufacturers
Sometimes the fault lies with the equipment itself. If a defective pressure valve, faulty appliance, or malfunctioning battery explodes during normal use, the manufacturer may share liability for your injuries.
If you were harmed in a fire or explosion, our firm can demand the full financial support you deserve. Contact us online to discuss your case. Pay no attorney fees until we recover compensation.
What Causes Fire & Explosion Injuries?
Fires and explosions frequently result from neglected safety protocols or corporate oversight. We can investigate the root cause of the blast to identify where safety failures occurred and who should be held accountable.
Common hazards that can lead to catastrophic blasts include:
- Gas leaks. Escaping natural gas, propane, or other combustible gases can ignite and cause fires or explosions.
- Electrical failures. Faulty wiring, overloaded systems, and defective electrical components can trigger fires.
- Combustible materials. Improper storage or handling of flammable substances can create dangerous fire and explosion hazards.
- Chemical reactions. Industrial chemicals can ignite, react unexpectedly, or release hazardous fumes when improperly handled.
- Equipment failures. Boilers, pressure systems, machinery, and other equipment can fail and cause fires, explosions, or blast injuries.
- Welding and hot work. Sparks and heat from welding, cutting, or similar work can ignite nearby combustible materials.
- Defective products. Appliances, batteries, tools, automotive parts, and other products can malfunction, overheat, ignite, or explode.
- Unsafe workplace practices. Skipped inspections, inadequate training, or missing protective equipment can increase the risk of accidents.
