How Explosion Accidents Happen

Explosion accident injuries are some of the most devastating imaginable. They can easily cause permanent damage or even kill someone in an instant.

There are four classifications of explosion injuries:

  • Primary: Suffered by those in the closest proximity to the original blast, primary explosion injuries are the most likely to cause permanent damage and death. These are caused by the shock wave of the blast, which can cause injuries affecting the ears, lungs, and other internal organs.
  • Secondary: These injuries are typically caused by flying debris and affect those a bit further from but still close the explosion.
  • Tertiary: These injuries are caused by the sudden displacement of air caused by an explosion, which can violently throw victims from where they were standing or sitting.
  • Quaternary: These injuries include any of those not caused by any of the above. These can include flash burns from the heat and respiratory damage from the smoke and/or chemicals released from the blast.

Explosions accidents may result in any of the following injuries:

  • Broken bones
  • Minor to severe burns
  • Internal bleeding
  • Traumatic brain injury
  • Spinal cord injuries
  • Loss of limb
  • Wrongful death

Explosions can be caused by a number of factors, such as a safety oversight, defective product, negligence, poor maintenance, hazardous chemicals, faulty wiring, and mechanical sparks. They are most likely to occur in oilfields, chemical or manufacturing plants, and at construction sites.
