We have handled cases involving explosions resulting from the collection of gases and fumes in houses that resulted in spontaneous combustion and produced various types of injuries, including burns. Cases involving explosions may also arise from improper storage of gas cylinders in homes or in the workplace. It’s important with cases like these to investigate as soon as possible because many times the evidence is collected by others and the chain of custody for that evidence has to be maintained so that a case can be proven properly. The primary source for evidence usually comes from the local fire marshal’s investigation or the use of an expert trained in fire or explosion origin investigations. The injuries from accidents like this range from minor burns to severe burns and debilitating, life-changing injuries.
