Plant Explosion Lawyers

The initial explosion could be strong enough to throw objects and people away from it with force. Also, the blast of pressure can damage bodily organs. Most affected areas on the body include the lungs, ears, and the gastrointestinal region because they are easily filled with air.

Secondary-blast injuries are from objects flying or falling through the air. If they hit employees, they can cause significant impact physical damage. In some cases, objects can become embedded in the body. Tertiary-blast injuries are caused when a primary blast lifts a person up and pushes them into an object. The force of the body hitting a stationary object could cause internal organ injuries and/or fractures. Quaternary-blast injuries could be from the inhalation of fumes, crush injuries, chemical burns, or loss of blood.

In addition to property inside the building, including the building itself, employees’ property may suffer from damage from a blast. If the explosion is strong enough, objects could be hurled out of a door or window and could damage vehicles and other personal property.

Some injuries may not be seen, such as fractured bones and burns. In some cases, the injuries can be internal or psychological. Brain injuries, post-traumatic stress syndrome, and other injuries may not be easily diagnosed. Victims of a plant explosion should get medical and emotional treatment even after visible wounds have healed.
