Explosion Accident Cases

Explosions can be caused by a number of factors, but in many cases we see, negligence is often to blame. Be it corporate shortcuts, regulatory violations, property owner failures, or defective products, these acts of negligence can have devastating consequences.

Explosion accident cases we handle include:

  • Gas leaks (propane and natural gas)
  • Chemical explosions related to manufacturing, storage, and handling
  • Oil and gas explosions at refineries, petrochemical plants, etc.
  • Industrial explosions on commercial properties
  • Residential explosions at homes and multi-family housing
  • Premises owner negligence and unsafe conditions
  • Failures to warn, ensure properly functioning smoke alarms / safety protocol
  • Third part negligence (contractors, city or county utilities, product manufacturers, etc.)
  • Workplace explosions / fires

Though each type of explosion incident has its unique circumstances, potential causes, and investigatory protocol, they are all capable of causing significant and widespread harm. It is not uncommon for explosions to result in:

Gas Explosions in North Carolina

North Carolina is home to many industrial facilities, plants, and refineries which handle dangerous substances and combustible chemicals that pose explosion risks. However, natural gas and propane power many of our residential homes, multi-family housing complexes, and businesses – and missteps involving these volatile gases can quickly turn into disasters.

That devastation was evident in a major explosion in Durham in April 2019. Though the incident is still being investigated, officials are looking closely into a contractor who had reportedly struck a 2-inch gas line while boring under a sidewalk. The explosion caused over a dozen serious injuries, and a fatality.

Tragedies like these send a reminder about the need for individuals and entities to uphold their legal obligations for ensuring safe conditions, regulatory compliance, and the health and safety of those nearby. Unfortunately, gas explosions occur regularly throughout NC and the U.S., often due to negligence involving:

  • Gas leaks that could and should have been detected
  • Known hazards left unaddressed by premises owners
  • Gas, electrical, and building code violations
  • Negligent third parties / contractors
  • Unsafe and defective products
  • Mishandling of volatile gases / gas line work
