A burn accident can happen anywhere

We have filed claims on behalf of people injured in explosions at construction sites and in the home. Our clients have included people burned in household fires caused by faulty wiring. In some cases, landlords lock fire doors as a security measure, resulting in victims being trapped. Leaking gas, malfunctioning hot water heaters, and inadvertent mixtures of explosive chemicals can result in catastrophic explosions that cause serious burn injuries and death. Exploding gas tanks in car and truck accidents cause terrible injuries.

Explosions cause even more catastrophic injuries

Our legal team has helped many people obtain the resources they need to cope with burn injuries, whether from an industrial explosion or a residential fire. In the case of an explosion, victims may be suffering from other injuries, making their case even more urgent. They may have suffered head injuries, broken limbs, and amputation as a result of the explosion—all in addition to the burns.
