Industrial explosions can be particularly devastating. Regrettably, we continue to see innocent people lose their lives as a result of these incidents far too often. These explosions tend to be incredibly devastating due to the fact that they often transmit blast waves outward, causing severe and catastrophic injuries to any person they come in contact with.
When innocent people lose their lives as a result of explosions while on the job, their families may have legal options available to help them secure financial compensation to alleviate some of the damages they face. Following the loss of a loved one, your family has the ability to seek compensation for funeral expenses, burial costs, lost earning capacity, and more.
