Harris County Burn Injury Lawyer / Houston Explosion Injury Attorney
Although many gas and chemical explosions happen in the workplace, explosions can occur in any setting. A single spark or electrical short in the presence of gas can cause a devastating explosion. The most common explosion injuries are burns, which can require long hospital stays and years of physical therapy, skin grafts and treatment to overcome the deep muscle injuries and psychological trauma. Also, disfiguring scars are permanent reminders of severe burn injuries.
It is not enough that an explosion victim receive compensation for current medical treatment. Any compensation needs to cover long-term needs, including special reconstructive surgery and in-home care.

What about Workers' Compensation?
If you are burned in a workplace accident, you may be told by your employer, co-workers or friends that you do not have a right to file a civil lawsuit. Although workers' compensation may bar a lawsuit in some cases, there are many cases in which a personal injury lawsuit is allowed by law. If you have been injured in a refinery or industrial accident,, or any other type of workplace accident, it is important to consult with a personal injury attorney who can review the facts of your case and advise you of your legal options.
