Causes of Explosions and Liable Parties

Explosions are typically caused by a combination of human error, equipment failure, or negligence. Understanding the root cause is critical for holding the right parties accountable. Common causes include:

Equipment Failure

Malfunctioning or poorly maintained machinery can spark catastrophic explosions.

Gas Leaks

Improperly installed gas lines or defective gas cans can result in deadly explosions.

Human Error

Mistakes during operation or maintenance can lead to accidents.

Negligent Maintenance

Failing to follow safety protocols increases the risk of explosions.

Defective Products

Faulty equipment or unsafe materials can be responsible for explosive accidents.

Liable parties may include:

  • Employers or contractors who fail to maintain safe working environments.
  • Property owners who neglect gas line safety or maintenance.
  • Manufacturers of defective equipment or unsafe products.
  • Utility companies responsible for gas line safety and maintenance.

Our team of explosion injury lawyers at Breit Biniazan conducts thorough investigations to identify all liable parties and maximize your compensation.

The Science Behind Explosions

Explosions are rapid chemical reactions that release energy in the form of heat, light, and pressure. Here’s a breakdown of the scientific process:

Step Description Example Equation
Fuel Source A combustible material is present (gas, vapor, dust). CH₄ (Methane) or C₈H₁₈ (Octane)
Oxidizer An oxygen source supports combustion. O₂ (Oxygen)
Ignition Source Spark, flame, or heat initiates the reaction. (Heat or Electrical Spark)
Chemical Reaction Rapid oxidation releases energy. CH₄ + 2O₂ → CO₂ + 2H₂O + Energy
Pressure Wave Expanding gases create a high-pressure shockwave. P = F/A (Pressure = Force/Area)
Heat and Light Energy release emits heat and visible light. E = mc² (Energy-Mass Equivalence)

This rapid reaction creates a powerful blast wave, leading to the destructive force typical of explosions. The specific chemicals and environmental conditions influence the explosion’s intensity and impact.

Injuries Resulting from Explosions

Explosion accidents often lead to catastrophic injuries, including:

  • Burns: Ranging from first to third degree, often requiring extensive medical treatment and rehabilitation.
  • Traumatic Brain Injuries: Resulting from the force of the explosion or impact from debris.
  • Hearing Loss: Due to the extreme noise and pressure wave caused by the explosion.
  • Other Catastrophic Injuries: Including fractures, amputations, internal organ damage, and psychological trauma.
  • Post Traumatic Stress Disorder: Due to the traumatic nature of explosions, victims may suffer from PTSD, leading to anxiety, flashbacks, and emotional distress.
  • Secondary Injuries: Caused by debris or falling objects due to the initial blast, leading to additional harm beyond the primary impact.

At Breit Biniazan, we understand the physical, emotional, and financial toll these injuries can take. Our compassionate legal team works relentlessly to ensure victims receive compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and more.

Wrongful Death Cases

In the tragic event that an explosion results in the loss of life, the family of the deceased may have the right to file a wrongful death lawsuit. This type of lawsuit seeks to provide compensation for the profound loss of a loved one, covering expenses such as funeral costs, lost wages, and emotional distress. Explosion lawyers who handle wrongful death cases are dedicated to holding the responsible parties accountable for their actions. They work tirelessly to ensure that the grieving family receives the justice and financial compensation they deserve, helping them navigate through an incredibly difficult time.

Legal Rights and Pursuing Compensation

If you’ve been injured in an explosion, you have the right to seek compensation for:

  • Medical Expenses: Covering surgeries, rehabilitation, and ongoing medical care.
  • Lost Wages and Earning Capacity: Including compensation for reduced earning potential.
  • Pain and Suffering: Addressing the emotional impact of injuries.
  • Property Damage: For any personal property destroyed in the explosion.
  • Punitive Damages: In cases of gross negligence or intentional harm.

Our explosion accident lawyers at Breit Biniazan are dedicated to maximizing your financial recovery. We negotiate aggressively with insurance companies and are fully prepared to take your case to trial if necessary.

Explosion Lawyer FAQ's

What is the difference between a fire and an explosion?

A fire is a slow combustion process releasing heat and light steadily, while an explosion is a rapid chemical reaction producing a shockwave, heat, and pressure. Explosions release energy much faster, causing significant force and destruction.

Can a gas leak cause an explosion?

Yes, a gas leak can cause an explosion if the gas mixes with oxygen in the right proportions and an ignition source is present, leading to rapid combustion.

What causes an explosion?

Explosions are caused by rapid oxidation or combustion of a substance, resulting in a high-pressure shockwave. This can be triggered by chemical reactions, physical pressure build-up, or nuclear reactions.

What are the three types of explosions?

  1. Chemical Explosions: Caused by rapid chemical reactions (e.g., gas leaks, dynamite).
  2. Mechanical Explosions: Result from pressure buildup (e.g., boiler explosions).
  3. Nuclear Explosions: Involve nuclear fission or fusion releasing immense energy.

Can an explosion cause PTSD?

Yes, experiencing or witnessing an explosion can cause PTSD due to the traumatic event’s emotional and psychological impact, leading to anxiety, flashbacks, and emotional distress.

What are the 5 requirements for an explosion?

  1. Fuel (combustible material)
  2. Oxidizer (usually oxygen)
  3. Ignition source (spark or heat)
  4. Confinement (to build pressure)
  5. Rapid chemical reaction

"Working with this law firm made settling my case a breeze! When i was injured in my car accident and my car was totaled, i was so worried about handling the insurance company and all of the phone calls and paperwork while i had a concussion. With a couple visits and a few emails back and forth with my paralegal and attorney, my case was settled in less than a year! If i ever needed to be represented again i will 100% be choosing Breit Cantor Grana Buckner to represent me! I appreciate everything they did for me!"

I would recommend to family & friends."

Cobi M.

I had the misfortune of having my car totaled during the start of the pandemic. As you could imagine it was a stressful and painful event. With businesses changing to meet the requirements of COVID-19 restrictions, I would like to commend this team of professionals for maintaining the quality of the service they provide. My entire claim was handled while upholding social distancing guidelines. I had regular communication with Kellie and Kevin from start to finish. I could email at anytime and got a response within hours. Phone calls were always scheduled at my convenience and upheld just as a physical appointment would.

Without this team, I don’t know if I would’ve had the same success pursuing a settlement offer that best repaid the injury and inconvenience the car accident caused. Thank you Breir/Cantor attorney group!!"

Danielle P.

"Throughout 2019 and 2020 Attorney Kevin Biniazan helped me with a personal injury case. Aside from the professionalism and attentiveness one would expect from a quality law firm such as Breit Cantor Grana Buckner, I was taken by the fact that they agreed to take my case on a contingency basis, even though there was little evidence in my favor in the early stages of preparation. This meant the world to me. It meant that they believed in me, and my case, when two other firms declined to take the case. In late 2020 the case settled out of court and I received a substantial monetary award that exceeded my expectations. Thank you Kevin, and all your support staff for believing in me when many others did not!!!!"

Markgerszewski

"This law firm was highly recommended by a friend who had prior representation. I am very pleased with their professionalism and they kept me well informed of my injury case. Attorney Kevin Biniazan and his team fought well for my rights and I received an extremely good settlement. I encourage you to give them a call as you will have a pleasant experience with their representation!"

Scott S.

"My experience with Breit Biniazan and his team was very positive. They were very helpful, were always available, took time to explain the process, and answer any questions I had. A special thanks to Kellie for all her support and efforts. I always felt she was on my side and looking out for my best interest. I would highly recommend Mr. Binazan and his team and would not hesitate to use their services should the need arise."

Mark T.

"Michael Collett represented us in our suit, and he was incredible. He made quick, efficient work of getting our case positively resolved while also making sure to keep us updated along the way. We recommend him to anyone seeking representation in a personal injury suit.

Our suit had dragged on for five years, and we wondered if it would ever be finished. Once Mike was handed our case, he immediately got to work getting to know us and understanding the timeline of events. Additionally, as a prior military member, he understood that our case was not a traditional cut-and-dry lawsuit: our life continued while the company dragged it out in court, including PCSing overseas and then back to the US during COVID. This kind of personal understanding and attention to detail was instrumental to our case. Mike's background, compassion, attentiveness, and professionalism made the difference; without him, we could have had a very different outcome.

If you are in need of any representation for a personal injury suit, I highly recommend Michael and his colleagues."

Kim V.

"I'm an attorney in Nebraska and represented a Nebraska family who lost their son/brother due to an electrocution on a job site in Virginia. After handling the workers' compensation claim in Nebraska, I reached out to multiple law firms in Virginia, ultimately co-counseling with Kevin Biniazan on the Virginia third party claims. He worked the case up, secured experts, and ultimately tried the case to a jury. Kevin and his team did a fantastic job presenting the case, arguing points of law, and overall just demonstrated that they had put extraordinary time and effort into preparing the case for trial. They secured a 7-figure recovery on tough facts and were great to work with along the way. I highly recommend Kevin and his firm."

Aaron B.

"I give Kevin Biniazan and his team the highest rating I can. I had a case in Va Beach a few years ago, called a few attorneys but ended up going with Kevin because of the knowledge and compassion he showed. After telling Kevin my issue, he and his team did all the work. They took the time to listen to my concerns and feelings, they were informative and available at all times. Along with the success of my case, Kevin and his team gave me the opportunity and support I needed to begin healing. I couldn’t recommend enough!"

Brit T.

"Outstanding service! My case lasted approximately 2 years, the staff was more than patient with me and the multiple questions I had throughout the process. I highly recommend their services to all."

Donald B.

"I was injured in a motorcycle accident with a car driver and refered to Breit Biniazan by a second lawfirm from my home state. They were professional and got me through one of the most painful times in my life. I simply gave them what they needed and they took care of the rest, getting me proper compensation for my pain and suffering."

Kurtis P.

"I took a chance on this firm from a recommendation and I couldn’t be happier with their work and the results of my case. Kellie and Nilda are pure gold! Kellie kept me appraised of everything that was going on, timely and answered all my questions and concerns. I followed a recommendation; trust me, Breit Biniazan is the very best!"

Ally A.

"Kevin, Kylee and his team are the best in the business! They are the most trustworthy,hardworking,dedicated, honest, and morally outstanding people I've had the pleasure of knowing."

Edward D.

"My experience with the team at Breit Biniazan was nothing short of outstanding. They handled our case with the utmost professionalism and compassion. Kellie, their paralegal proved to be an invaluable support. Kellie was compassionate and her communication helped us through a tough time. I highly recommend Breit Biniazan."

Craig M.

"I had the pleasure of working with Mr. Beasley and Ms. Jennings. I was unfortunately involved in multiple crashes that I was a victim of and sought their firm, Breit Biniazan for help with medical bills and other issues. They worked with me for well over a year, coming to a successful resolution for my cases. They are incredibly passionate about their job and getting to an outcome desired for their plaintiffs. I would recommend their firm for any cases you may have, no questions asked."

Zach H.

"You want someone who really cares and will fight for what you deserve. Breit is the man for the job. He did everything with due diligence and made sure to keep me updated through this extensive process. Always had a great attitude and led with determination."

KerosYT

"I’ve never been in a lawsuit, nor have I been to court, or had anything dealing with legal matter so all of this was pretty new to me, and 9/10 it was scary & heart racing. The only reason I got through it is because of Kevin. If it wasn’t for him with his patience, his commitment to his client, or the will to go the distance I never would’ve had confidence in any of this legal stuff. 10/10 recommend Breit Biniazan."

Tyler B.

"I have the pleasure of being represented by Kevin Biniazan, he is a brilliant man with a true heart of passion for what he does, and the people he represents. He successfully managed my case, delivering thorough updates through every step as well as answering any questions I had. He set goals, and surpassed them. I am very thankful to his whole team for their support and strength during a very challenging time."

Wayde_88

"Kept me informed of the entire process. Offered advice on how to proceed."

Kenneth P.

"Fantastic team! Kevin is an amazing attorney who comes through on his word. Kylee and the team of paralegals went above and beyond to help me understand what we should expect in the case. I highly recommend Kevin’s team to anyone who is not only in need of a legal team, but one who will get them what they deserve!"

Angelica S.

"Kevin and his team worked tirelessly to help us secure the best possible outcome for an incredibly difficult situation. They were supportive and attentive to our needs, walked us through the process step by step and fought hard for us. I would highly recommend Breit Biniazan for all of your legal needs."

Carmen A.

"Following a motor vehicle accident, I needed assistance with handling insurance issues and was referred to Breit Biniazan for their expertise. I had the pleasure of working with attorney Alexis Meier and her paralegal Molisa Gardner. They managed my case with utmost professionalism, efficiency, and thoroughness.

As a physician, I am aware that some law firms may try to enhance settlements by recommending excessive consultations, imaging studies, and other tests, as well as extensive therapy. However, Alexis and Molisa ensured that I received the necessary care without subjecting me to unnecessary tests or treatments. I found their approach to be both ethical and professional.

I wholeheartedly endorse Breit Biniazan and recommend their services to anyone in a similar situation."

Andrew D.

"Alexis Meier is an exceptional attorney—professional, knowledgeable, and highly effective. She handled my case with efficiency, care, and compassion, ensuring everything was managed seamlessly. Her team was equally impressive, always responsive and prompt in their communication. It was an absolute pleasure working with them, and I highly recommend Alexis and her team to anyone in need of outstanding legal representation."
