Dallas-Fort Worth Explosions Lawyer

We have all seen television news or read in the paper about a massive explosion occurring at a Texas refinery or petrochemical plant. However, explosions can occur in many industrial settings and can be the result of many factors including:

• Improper mixing of chemicals
• Defective products
• Violations of safety codes, standards or other safety Practices
• Improper welding or other activities creating unprotected ignition sources.

Our office has handled cases involving explosions resulting from welding activities, steam pressure buildup as well as improper mixing and storage of chemicals. We have learned from these cases that physical recovery from injuries sustained in explosion events can take many years and that often serious and permanent disability remains. Many times years of physical therapy, numerous hospitalizations and frequent doctor visits are required to overcome the injuries.

It is important that the source and cause of an explosion be investigated as soon as possible following the event. A thorough gathering of the evidence, examination of our witnesses and scientific testing and research are required. Many of these initial steps need to be taken before the explosion scene has been altered either by clean up or removal of equipment.

If you or a family member have experienced injuries as a result of an explosion, our office is prepared to put it's experience and resources to work on your behalf. Please contact the Law Offices of Greg Fitzgerald at 817-281-0044 or click here for a FREE case evaluation.
