St. Louis Explosion Lawyer
Although they are quite rare, with approximately 860 incidents reported annually, explosions can result in catastrophic injury and death. In most cases, victims are innocent bystanders who could have avoided harm if not for some negligent party that caused the explosion, like a utility company, manufacturer, contractor, or landlord.
Thankfully, Missouri law allows explosion accident victims to seek compensation for damages. Although no amount of money could compensate for the pain and suffering they’ve experienced, it can provide some financial relief in the wake of such a tragedy.
At Morgan & Morgan, we can provide you with an explosion lawyer in St. Louis who can help relieve the financial and emotional burden caused by your injuries.

What Causes an Explosion and Who is at Fault?
Depending on the circumstances surrounding the explosion that caused your injury, there are several parties your explosion lawyer in St. Louis may seek to hold liable.
The first thing your lawyer will do is conduct a full investigation into the explosion itself to determine the cause of the blast, which may include the following:
Natural Gas Explosions
Laclede Gas Company provides St. Louis residents with natural gas using underground pipes. Any failure to properly maintain those pipes can cause an explosion, and the company may be liable. They can also be found liable if a blast results from defective company property, like a faulty meter or regulator, or as the result of corroded or deteriorated pipes.
Construction Site Accidents
At construction sites across the city, crews routinely work around those same underground gas pipes and gas piping inside buildings. One false move can puncture or break a pipe and cause an explosion. Misusing dynamite and other explosives on a construction site can also cause explosion accidents.
Defective Products and Equipment
It is common for faulty appliances, equipment, and products to explode, causing serious injury. In these cases, the manufacturer may be liable for any damages. In some cases, a landlord or property owner may be responsible if there is a failure to maintain the property and address fire safety issues properly.
