Explosions
Explosions at work sites can have staggering costs to workers and their families. If you have suffered a serious injury or a family member has been killed in an explosion on the job, workers' compensation alone will not go far in helping you face the significant financial challenges ahead.
The lawyers at Aiken & Jacobsen in Sacramento, California, represent people who have suffered losses as the result of explosions and other accidents in the workplace. We offer a free initial consultation to evaluate your case and explain your options.
Beyond Workers' Compensation
Workers' compensation offers benefits such as medical care and lost wages, as well as payments for permanent injury or death. Workers' compensation benefits are limited, however, and will not compensate you for everything you have lost.
While employers are generally protected from lawsuits for employee injuries or death on the job, there are exceptions. One example would be an explosion caused by gross negligence. Another would be if the explosion were caused by the negligence of a third party. Examples of third parties include:
- Natural gas suppliers
- Vendors or contractors working on the job site
- Manufacturers of equipment that is defective or contains inadequate warnings
Our lawyers will work meticulously to establish liability for the explosion that led to your injury or your loved one's death. We work with local and national experts to demonstrate the cause of an explosion and the long-term physical and financial consequences for our clients. Whether through a settlement or trial, we are committed to recovering the compensation you need to move forward with your life.
