Causes of Explosion Accidents

How do most construction site explosion accidents occur? Any number of factors can contribute to accidents such as these, but some of the more common include propane gas explosions and flammable materials explosions. In either case, problems can arise when volatile chemicals are mixed together or exposed to oxygen or moisture in the air. Add in the devastating effect of burning construction dust and it is no wonder major explosions can cause life-threatening injuries. The perils of these events may be enhanced by the site itself as well, as a construction explosion can lead to falls and equipment collisions.

Injuries associated with construction explosions tend to come in many forms. Some of the most common are catastrophic in nature, including traumatic head injury, spinal cord injury, burns, and amputation. Any one of these may rob a worker of his autonomy and livelihood, and many will require lifelong medical care. Worker's compensation is not designed to offset huge expenses like these, which is why it is wise to speak with an attorney about the type of recovery you can pursue. Often you can recover a settlement that will cover everything from lost income to pain and suffering.
