Experienced New Mexico Explosion Accident Lawyer

Explosions are catastrophic, devastating accidents that cause immense physical, emotional, and psychological pain to the victims and their loved ones. 

Survivors are forever altered, often with injuries or trauma that changes their lives. Explosion accidents can also leave families with losses that may never heal, grieving their loved ones snatched away too soon.

In the aftermath of an explosion injury, you may not be considering whether you need an explosion accident lawyer. But as a victim, you deserve to be fairly compensated for your injuries or loss, especially if the negligence or carelessness of another party caused the accident.

The Spence Law Firm can help. We have a legal team of experienced explosion lawyers to investigate the circumstances of your accident and determine who is responsible. We help you hold those parties accountable and seek justice on your behalf. 

As your plant explosion lawyer, we work hard to secure the compensation you deserve.

After an explosion accident, you need a compassionate gas explosion lawyer who advocates for you professionally and is on your side personally. The Spence Law Firm operates in several states, including New Mexico and Wyoming, and we are committed to helping families who have been affected by injuries caused by others’ negligence.

We specialize in personal injury law and explosion cases and understand the complex regulations that govern job sites like manufacturing plants, construction, oil and gas, and other industries where explosion accidents are common. 

Because of our depth of experience and thorough approach to litigating cases like yours, we are able to determine all responsible parties and build a strong case against them.

For the most part, companies or job site owners are responsible for explosions and subsequent injuries. Business owners have a duty to ensure the safety of people working in their plants, on their rigs, or at the job site. 

The employer, or their insurance company and lawyers, often lead victims to believe that the explosion was inevitable or couldn’t have been prevented. This lets them off the hook for responsibility for your injuries.

The truth is that proper maintenance and oversight of equipment and the job site can reduce the chances of catastrophic explosions. Company negligence is the most significant contributor to avoidable accidents.

Some industries are naturally more dangerous than others. Explosions can happen at:

• Plants
• Factories
• Oil rigs and refineries
• Gas extraction sites
• Construction sites
• Shipping vessels

On the job, explosions can happen for any number of reasons. Sometimes, workers are poorly trained or careless. Other times, the company fails to maintain equipment or replace older, worn-out pieces. Common explosion causes include:

• Overloaded electrical outlets
• Smoking in non-designated areas
• Faulty electrical wiring and equipment
• General human errors or mistakes
• Airborne particle buildup

Sometimes, the general company culture is one where safety regulations and OSHA guidelines are dismissed in favor of “efficiency.” In these cases, the company is liable for the explosion for failing to maintain the proper culture of safety.

Your legal team at The Spence Firm will pursue coverage of economic, non-economic, and punitive damages on your behalf. You may recover compensation for:

• All medical expenses and ongoing treatment
• Loss of income if you cannot work due to your injuries
• Short- and long-term disability coverage
• Pain and suffering and emotional trauma
• Diminished quality of life
• Wrongful death and loss of companionship

In many cases, explosion victims and their families may need home modifications or modifications of their vehicles to accommodate their injury or disability. Your case may cover the costs of those, as well.
