Explosions occur throughout the United States in various ways and scenarios, typically caused by some forms of negligence. Although our initial thought might go to terrorist attack or military action, the greatest potential for an explosion is in a work setting. Many occupations especially those using chemicals, electricity, gas, explosive substances, or flammable materials are the most prone. Even following the strictest safety and hazard guidelines daily, one mishap can be catastrophic - and often to a widespread area surrounding the event. Notably most susceptible are industries such as refining, pipeline, oilfield or oil rig, and other industrial or manufacturing plants. In almost all cases, an explosion was preventable.  At Galindo Law, we are aggressive at fighting for personal injuries and property damages resulting from explosions.
