The Toll from Plant Explosions
Industrial plant explosions can take a devastating toll on the people and communities they affect. Workers present during a plant explosion often sustain devastating and sometime fatal injuries. Those who survive are often left unable to work for months, and are sometimes permanently disabled. Very often, the workers compensation benefits available to these injured workers are not nearly enough to cover their medical bills or help support their families.
The families of those killed in plant explosions are even worse off. While it is horrible enough to deal with the unexpected death of a loved one, these families are often left without their only means of financial support. The plant explosion injury attorneys at Parker Waichman Alonso LLP know the financial difficulties faced by workers and their families affected by plant explosions, and they are dedicated to insuring that these victims receive the compensation for which they are entitled.
Plant explosions can also devastate the communities where they occur. People who live by a plant explosion often sustain serious damage to their residences, cars, and personal property. Neighborhoods near plant explosions are often evacuated for days at time, at great expense to evacuees. These evacuations can also take a devastating emotional toll on those forced to relocate, especially young children.
Businesses located in close proximity to the plant explosion can incur serious property damage, and are often forced to stay closed for extended periods. The resulting clean up from such a plant explosion can go on for months, causing businesses in the area to suffer substantial financial losses. The plant explosion injury lawyers at Parker Waichman Alonso LLP can help families and business obtain the compensation they deserve to cover property damage, evacuation expenses and business losses incurred as a result of an industrial plant explosion.
Long-Term Health Consequences of Plant Explosions
Plant explosions can continue to affect individuals, families and communities for months and years after they occur. Many plant explosions happen at factories and manufacturing plants that produce and work with highly volatile and toxic chemicals. The fumes resulting from the fire after the initial explosion are extremely toxic and can cause serious health problems for anyone in the area who happens to breathe this contaminated air. The toxic air can linger for months after the explosion as unsuspecting victims breathe these chemicals and poison their bodies.
The most devastating plant explosions are those that release toxic chemicals and oil into a community that can take years to clean up. Often, the area around a plant explosion is deemed unlivable, permanently displacing residents and business. What’s worse, many industrial plants are located along major waterways, and toxic chemicals released during an explosion that spill into rivers, lakes and streams can affect water quality in a community for years. Often, the long-term health consequences of plant explosions take years to become completely apparent. The plant explosion injury attorneys at Parker Waichman Alonso LLP understand this, and will be there to help the victims of plant explosion long after the original event fades from the headlines.
