BOSTON EXPLOSION LAWYER

An explosion is a sudden and violent release of energy, usually but not always accompanied by heat, light, and sound. It can be caused by a variety of factors, such as the combustion of fuel, the reaction of chemicals, the rupture of containment vessels, the ignition of explosives, or the impact of a projectile. 

Depending on the magnitude and duration of the explosion, it can affect a small area or a large one, and cause minor or major injuries to people, animals, and property. Some explosions are accidental, some are intentional, and some are due to natural causes, such as volcanoes.

The most common causes of explosions are things like fires, combustible dust, defective equipment, flammable material, gas and chemical explosions, etc. Any kind of property can be involved in explosions, too, including homes, stores, garages, and schools.

The injuries caused by explosions can range from mild to severe, temporary to permanent, physical to psychological, and visible to invisible. 

Some common types of injuries due to explosions include:

• Burns: The heat and flames of an explosion can burn the skin, the hair, the eyes, the respiratory tract, and the internal organs of the body. Burns can cause pain, swelling, blisters, scarring, deformity, infection, and in extreme cases, death.
• Blast injuries: The pressure and shock waves of an explosion can create a blast wave that can knock down or propel objects and people, causing blunt trauma, fractures, lacerations, and concussions. The blast wave can also create a vacuum that can suck in debris, dust, and toxic gasses, causing inhalation injuries, such as pulmonary contusions, pneumothorax, and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).
• Traumatic injuries: The impact and penetration of shrapnel or flying debris can cause penetrating wounds, such as cuts, punctures, and impalements. The debris can also cause blunt trauma and crush injuries, such as fractures, amputations, and internal bleeding.
• Psychological injuries: The aftermath of an explosion can also cause psychological trauma, such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression, anxiety, and survivor guilt. These injuries can affect the mental health, social functioning, and quality of life of the victim and the family members.
