Fire and Explosion Accidents
Unfortunately, Missouri has seen more than its share of high-profile residential and work accidents caused by fires or explosions in recent years.
The Law Office of Jeffery A. Hanna understands these are among the most complex personal injury and wrongful death claims a law firm can handle. Significant resources go into investigating such claims. And those who survive typically suffer very serious injuries, including burn injuries and disfigurement.
Fire and Burn Injuries to Missouri Employees
Explosions can result from dangerous chemicals, coal dust and fuels, including propane and natural gas, along with Grain Elevator stored products. An increasing amount of attention has been paid to hazardous dust explosions in recent years.
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration reports sufficient quantities of dust particles can cause deflagration, or rapid combustion, when mixed with oxygen and a heat source. When such combustion is inside a building, the resulting pressure can cause an explosion. Thus, these accidents rely upon what's called the "Dust Explosion Pentagon," oxygen, heat, fuel, dispersion and confinement.
Such explosions can dislodge additional dust (fuel) and may cause secondary explosions, which often result in the most death and destruction. The hazards of dust explosions exist in a variety of manufacturing environments, including plants that make candy, sugar, feed, flour, spice, wood, paper, rubbery, furniture, textiles, pharmaceuticals, dyes, coal and processed metals.

Burn injuries can result from an automobile accident, a construction or work accident, a defective automobile or other product, or as the result of an apartment or building fire, especially in cases where exits have been blocked or other fire hazards have not been properly addressed by the building owner or management. Victims dealing with the aftermath of a serious burn injury need advanced medical treatment and experienced and aggressive legal representation.
