Causes Of Fires And Explosions

Fires and explosions can result from different hazards, many of which are caused by another person's negligence, carelessness, or recklessness. Hazardous chemicals, coal dust, dangerous electrical configurations, propane and natural gas storage, and other hazards are often to blame.

Standards Of Care

When dealing with hazardous materials that can lead to fires and explosions, rigid guidelines are provided from the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) with regards to their handling, storage, transportation, identification, marking, and even training for individuals working with or interacting with such materials. If these standards are not met, a negligence claim can likely be advanced against offending companies and individuals.

Dust Explosions

When a significant number of dust particles collects, according to OSHA, there can occur rapid combustion and fires, when exposed to an open heat source. When this combustion occurs indoors, the intense pressure that results can lead to a deadly explosion. Dust explosions have historically occurred in manufacturing environments, including textile mills, candy/sugar plants, pharmaceutical manufacturing plants, paper and wood plants, and processed metal plants. Perhaps the most notable dust explosion occurred in Springfield, Massachusetts in 1999, when phenolic resin was negligently allowed to build, resulting in a devastating explosion.

Negligence Is Often To Blame

The fact of the matter is, sadly, there are an unacceptable number of serious injuries and wrongful deaths caused by fires and explosions annually. Often, the negligence of an individual or company is to blame. Sometimes, the risk of injury or death is compounded by further negligence such as nonexistent or ineffective evacuation plans, blocked exits, and other negligent or reckless acts. We launch the most thorough investigation possible to determine any and all at-fault parties. We will hold any negligent or reckless party accountable for your injuries or wrongful death. We deal with insurance companies daily and will not settle for a penny less than you rightfully deserve. Our reputation often leads to favorable settlements for our clients, but when a settlement to meet our demands is not available, we will fight for you in court. We will even amass a team of experts to better present your case and testify on your behalf, if necessary.

We went to Bellotti Law for help with a car injury to a pedestrian in a hospital parking garage. Peter is very low-key and calm, but know well how the system works and got us an excellent settlement through persistence, and helping us to track the effects of the injury and its future potential effects. He made a very strong case, and held out for a great settlement… I highly recommend him for his calm persistence, intelligence and experience in personal injury cases. Paul F.
