Explosion Injuries are Serious

Our Atlantic City Accident Attorneys Can Help

You may have learned in your high school chemistry class that an explosion is the sudden and powerful release of energy, usually because of a buildup of gases exposed to oxygen and heat. Explosions are abrupt and frightening, and they cause a great deal of damage to property and to people. Any person unfortunate enough to be close to an explosion will likely either meet death or suffer very, very serious injuries, such as severe burns, broken bones, tissue damage, nerve damage, brain damage and disfigurement. The unwelcome truth is that many people are injured or killed in explosions every year. Car accidents, ruptured gas lines, improperly stored hazardous materials, unsafe demolition techniques and improper use of chemicals can all cause explosions.
