Massachusetts explosions and fires can be both frightening and traumatic. They can cause catastrophic damage to both life and property and be emotionally distressing for Massachusetts survivors, witnesses and the families of victims. Massachusetts explosions typically happen in an instant and can cause significant personal injury, death and financial hardship to those involved. The most common causes of Massachusetts explosions are the negligence of a Massachusetts contractor, a Massachusetts utility company or a defective design in the equipment or other product. Regardless of the cause of the explosion, the effects are always immediately devastating.

According to the Center for Disease Control, when explosions occur, they have the potential to inflict multi-system life threatening injuries on many persons simultaneously. Explosions can cause injuries to Massachusetts civilians that are seldom seen outside of war and combat scenarios. Nearby Massachusetts victims may suffer catastrophic injuries. These, sometimes life altering injuries may include severe burns, blast lung, blunt trauma and other penetrating injuries.

Explosions scar, kill and wreak devastation every day in the United States. Massachusetts is no exception to the rule. Massachusetts gas leaks, Massachusetts chemical dust, Massachusetts electrical malfunctions, Massachusetts overheated boilers and Massachusetts explosives can cause Massachusetts explosions. Massachusetts explosions can happen anywhere: on a Massachusetts job site, at home, in a Massachusetts place of business, on Massachusetts rental property, in a Massachusetts motor vehicle or truck, or on an aircraft. Massachusetts factory and construction workers are the most vulnerable to suffering explosion injuries because they are required to use hazardous and flammable materials each day on the job. Some of the deadliest types of explosions have been coal mine explosions, and many of the largest fire losses in the United States are the result of unexpected explosions that started the fire.

In the aftermath of a Massachusetts explosion, the events often take a significant physical and emotional toll on Massachusetts victims and their families, immediately and sometimes in the long term. Tragically, many Massachusetts victims suffer wrongful death in the wake of an explosion. Those who survive often endure an extensive rehabilitation process to recover from their injuries, such as broken bones, burns, respiratory problems and psychological trauma. The injured victim and his or her family are forced to face a strenuous physical recovery as well as emotional stress, all the while dealing with mounting medical costs and lost wages at work. In cases of Massachusetts explosions at home, victims may be displaced from their residences and forced to relocate for an indefinite period of time.

There are a number of different types of accidents that can lead to a Massachusetts explosion, including residential fires, electrical fires, automobile fires, industrial accidents and electrocutions. Oxygen and some form of combustible material must be present in the atmosphere in order for a Massachusetts explosion to occur. These conditions are present at a variety of Massachusetts construction work sites and other Massachusetts job sites. Massachusetts industrial production work sites often involve the use and creation of flammable mixtures. Massachusetts mills regularly break down combustible materials and Massachusetts factories typically have various glue and paint mixtures that are in close vicinity to gas tanks.

Massachusetts work site explosions often result in direct, immediate injury, such as chemical burns or flying debris that causes harm to a victim. Massachusetts work site injuries can include burns, broken bones, respiratory failure and internal organ damage. It is possible for a third party to be responsible for a work site explosion. Third party negligence can include insufficient instruction from a Massachusetts manufacturer, design flaws in Massachusetts machinery and inadequate Massachusetts machinery maintenance. Other examples of defective products whereby a third party may be found negligent include defective batteries, electrical boxes, fuel oil, gas cans, gas ovens and hot water heaters.

Unfortunately, Massachusetts gas explosions often result in significant fires. Fires are particularly dangerous in residential areas where homes are built close to one another and the fire has the ability to spread quickly. Massachusetts burn injuries can lead to permanent scarring and disfigurement, as well as emotional and physical trauma. Burn injuries often require prolonged treatment, painful skin grafts and reconstructive surgery. In the event that an explosion leads to Massachusetts wrongful death, family members of the victim may be entitled to various damages, including lost financial support, loss of consortium and funeral expense reimbursement. These money damages can be significant and our expert Massachusetts wrongful death lawyers have obtained millions of dollars for the families of Massachusetts wrongful death victims.

It is important to keep in mind that there is a statute of limitations under Massachusetts law that limits the amount of time that an individual has to file a Massachusetts explosion accident lawsuit. It is, therefore, critical that a highly skilled, expert Massachusetts explosion accident attorney be obtained immediately following a Massachusetts explosion accident. You or your loved one may be entitled to substantial monetary compensation, including medical expense reimbursement, lost wages, pain and suffering and loss of consortium.

If you or a loved one has been injured or killed because of a Massachusetts explosion accident, please call our highly experienced, expert Boston explosion accident injury lawyers or our aggressive and expert Boston wrongful death lawyers today at the Law Offices of Gilbert R. Hoy, Jr. and Affiliates at 617-787-3700 or email us at info@gilhoylaw.com. Your needs are our top priority!

Explosions At Massachusetts Workplaces

The majority of Massachusetts workplace explosions involve repair work or construction sites. Under Massachusetts and Federal law, Massachusetts contractors, Massachusetts subcontractors and Massachusetts property owners have a legal duty to provide a reasonably safe work environment for Massachusetts employees. Without the appropriate safeguards, proper maintenance and adequate staffing, a Massachusetts work site can quickly turn into a hazardous place.

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) is responsible for the establishment and enforcement of all workplace safety rules and regulations. OSHA is also responsible for issuing fines to companies in violation of these regulations, as well as keeping track of the number of people who are injured or killed in Massachusetts workplace accidents and accidents in other states. According to OSHA reports, approximately two hundred and fifty workers die in workplace explosion accidents annually and over five thousand more are injured on the job. What makes these statistics even more unsettling is that most of these explosion accidents could have been prevented if the appropriate safety measures had been in place at the time.

Massachusetts construction sites and other workplaces have a high number of potential explosion hazards. Most of these Massachusetts sites contain tanks of compressed liquid propane, oxygen, acetylene, diesel fuel, gasoline and other chemicals. Massachusetts workers are constantly grinding, welding and cutting metal in the presence of these chemicals. If there is adherence to proper Massachusetts and Federal safety procedures and regulations, the chances of an explosion are reduced. However, if Massachusetts and Federal safety regulations are disregarded, Massachusetts workers are placed at an unreasonable risk for explosion accident injuries. Common Massachusetts explosion accident injuries include:

In addition to Massachusetts employers promoting safety, Massachusetts manufacturing companies have a legal responsibility to add adequate warning labels to Massachusetts products or Massachusetts machinery that could potentially explode under certain circumstances. A failure to do so can constitute negligence and render these Massachusetts companies liable to Massachusetts victims for any injuries that they have sustained.

Investigating the liability of a Massachusetts workplace explosion accident will require the expertise of a highly skilled Boston explosion accident injury lawyer or Boston wrongful death injury attorney.

Massachusetts Gas Explosions

Gas explosions are far too common in Massachusetts. Gas explosions may occur due to aging pipes, gas leaks, improperly installed gas lines, gas supplies left on during construction, other mismanaged utilities and careless Massachusetts contractors and Massachusetts companies. Explosions can occur in private Massachusetts homes, as well as Massachusetts commercial buildings, and can also be caused by faulty utility pipes or defective appliances.

In recent years, in both Massachusetts and throughout the United States, aging pipelines have been the number one cause of gas explosions. According to the United States Department of Transportation Pipeline and Hazardous Material Safety, in the past ten years, pipe explosions have killed over three hundred people and injured nearly 1,500 others. Massachusetts utility companies have a legal duty to properly maintain pipelines in good condition and replace any aging lines that may pose an unreasonable threat to safety. Additionally, Massachusetts companies must also ensure that all Massachusetts employees working around pipelines are adequately supervised at all times. Failure to do so will constitute negligence and can endanger both Massachusetts workers and Massachusetts bystanders.

Natural gas and propane gas are both commonly used for cooking and heating in almost all Massachusetts homes. These gases are also causes of explosions. Many Massachusetts home appliances, such as ranges, stoves, ovens, water heaters, dryers, heating and cooling systems, and fireplaces require gas to work properly. In the case of an appliance malfunction, an explosive level of gas can accumulate in a Massachusetts home. Both natural and propane gases are odorless, so Massachusetts gas companies are required by both Massachusetts and Federal law to add an odorant to emit a “warning” smell to residents. Failure to do so, or to add a sufficient amount of odorant, may result in substantial liability for any injuries sustained in a Massachusetts gas explosion.

Several parties at once can be held legally liable for injuries and deaths in the aftermath of a Massachusetts gas explosion. The Massachusetts local gas company, other Massachusetts gas suppliers in the supply chain, Massachusetts installation and maintenance parties, Massachusetts appliance manufacturers, and even Massachusetts landlords and Massachusetts homeowners may all be held responsible for Massachusetts explosions that injure unaware victims. Liability determinations in Massachusetts gas explosion cases require the expertise of an experienced Boston gas explosion accident lawyer. It is important that you call our Massachusetts gas explosion personal injury lawyers or Massachusetts wrongful death attorneys today at 617-787-3700 or email us at gilhoylaw@hotmail.com.

Explosions That Lead to Massachusetts Wrongful Death

Far too frequently, Massachusetts explosions are fatal and leave grieving and devastated families in their wake. When a Massachusetts explosion results in wrongful death, the victim’s family may be entitled to bring a Massachusetts wrongful death case against any party whose negligence lead to the cause of the explosion. Along with their grief, the loved ones of Massachusetts explosion accident victims may sustain many types of financial losses and are entitled to financial recovery for their damages. There are a number of losses sustained by close family members in Massachusetts explosion accident cases that are compensable under Massachusetts wrongful death law. These damages may include money for medical expenses, funeral and burial costs, loss of future financial contributions, loss of consortium and loss of companionship.
