The attorneys at Sweeney Julian are aware of the scientific process involved in gas explosion accidents. The process involves combustion of a premixed gas-air cloud causing a rapid increase of pressure. In less than a fraction of a second, temperatures can climb to well above 1,000 degrees Fahrenheit. At this temperature, a person can be severely injured or killed before they even have time to react. Serious burn injuries to the skin and the lining of the lungs are common in these types of accidents. Gas explosions can occur inside process equipment or pipes, in buildings, in open process areas, or in unconfined spaces. Poor quality gas tanks, unattended gas leaks, and open system explosions are all avoidable.
Gas explosions can lead to severe injuries including burns, blunt force trauma, blindness and even death. Even a small mistake involving a gas line can cause an enormous disaster. A gas explosion is part of a chain of events that can be prevented if the property owners and gas companies are well trained and take the steps necessary to safely handle the gas system. It is necessary to analyze the chain of events from the onset of a leak to the explosion itself. Only trained fire investigators can fully analyze the evidence. This often requires complex analysis of the structures and systems involved. Often, large pieces of evidence are removed from the scene for testing and analysis. After an explosion occurs, it is critical that evidence be documented and secured immediately. If this is not done, critical clues to the cause of the explosion might be damaged or may "disappear." Indiana gas explosion attorneys can quickly identify causes of a gas explosion, and can help identify possible risks that may lead to a gas explosion.
