NASHVILLE EXPLOSION LAWYER

When you think about explosions, demolition sites often come to mind. After all, dynamite is commonly used, and accidents can happen. However, this isn’t the only place where you can be injured in an explosion. Some other common places can include:

• Home or residential areas
• Vehicle (cars, trucks, watercraft, and/or aircraft)
• Commercial, retail, and restaurant businesses
• Industrial areas and buildings
• Public Utilities

If you’re injured in an explosion, one of the first steps is determining who is responsible for the accident. This can be a complex process, especially if an explosion occurs in a public area. A government entity may be responsible for maintenance, and this also means preventing the accident. However, a manager may also be responsible. To help you determine fault, you need an experienced attorney on your side. At Morgan & Morgan, we have over 35 years of experience fighting for the legal rights of our clients.

Explosions can cause everything from mild to severe injuries. Some common injuries from explosions include:

• Burns – this can include 1st, 2nd, and 3rd-degree burns. If you experience 2nd or 3rd-degree burns, immediate medical attention is almost always a necessity.
• Respiratory injuries
• Nerve damage
• Brain damage
• Eye damage and blindness
• Cardiovascular injury, including cardiac arrest
• Scarring

The type of injury and its severity can depend on the type of explosion. For example, burns are more common in explosions when fire is also present. Some of the common causes of burns include exposure to chemicals and hot liquid. If the explosion is caused by an electrical malfunction, exposure to the wiring can result in severe burns. When it comes to classifying runs, first-degree burns are the least serious. First-degree burns only affect the top layer of skin. However, second and third-degree burns always require immediate medical care.
