What to Do After an Explosion Injury

The actions you take in the immediate aftermath can have a lasting impact on your ability to recover compensation.

Seek Emergency Medical Care Right Away

Blast injuries often involve internal trauma that isn't immediately visible. Even if you feel stable, a full medical evaluation is critical: both for your health and for establishing a clear injury record.

Do Not Return to the Scene

Explosion sites are often controlled by the responsible party or their insurer. Re-entering without legal representation present can compromise both your safety and your evidence.

Report the Incident

File a report with the appropriate authority (whether that's your employer, building management, local fire authorities, or Nevada OSHA) and retain a copy for your records.

Preserve Physical Evidence

If any defective equipment, appliances, or materials were involved, do not allow them to be repaired, discarded, or altered before they can be examined by an expert.

Document Your Injuries and Losses

Photograph your injuries, keep all medical records, and begin tracking every expense tied to your recovery — including transportation, prescriptions, and missed workdays.

Contact Cameron Law Before Talking to Any Insurance Company

Explosion cases frequently involve multiple insurers representing different parties. A single unguarded statement can be used to limit your recovery. Let us manage those communications from the outset.

Compensation Available for Explosion Injury Victims

An explosion injury claim in Nevada can encompass a wide range of financial and personal losses. Depending on the circumstances of your case, you may be entitled to recover:

Emergency and Ongoing Medical Care

Hospitalization, burn treatment, reconstructive surgery, pulmonary care, hearing rehabilitation, and any future medical needs tied to your injuries.

Lost Wages and Earning Capacity

Income lost during your recovery period and any long-term reduction in your ability to work caused by permanent physical limitations.

Pain and Suffering

The chronic physical pain, scarring, and day-to-day hardship that follow serious blast injuries.

Emotional and Psychological Harm

Post-traumatic stress, anxiety, and depression are common after violent traumatic events and are recognized as compensable losses under Nevada law.

Disfigurement and Permanent Disability

Significant scarring, amputations, vision or hearing loss, and other irreversible consequences warrant substantial additional compensation.

Wrongful Death Damages

When an explosion claims a life, surviving family members may pursue compensation for funeral costs, lost financial support, and loss of companionship.

Punitive Damages

Where the responsible party demonstrated a flagrant disregard for safety, Nevada Revised Statutes § 42.005 allows for punitive damages beyond standard compensation.

We evaluate the full scope of what your injury has cost before any number is put on the table.

Common Causes of Explosion Injuries in Reno

Most explosions are not accidents in the truest sense. Behind nearly every incident is a preventable failure. The causes we most commonly encounter include:

• Improper storage or handling of flammable chemicals and gases;
• Failure to inspect and maintain gas lines, pipelines, and pressure systems;
• Violations of Nevada OSHA workplace safety regulations;
• Defective manufacturing in appliances, vehicles, or industrial equipment;
• Negligent property maintenance by landlords or facility operators;
• Inadequate worker training on hazardous materials and emergency procedures;
• Contractor errors during construction or renovation involving gas or electrical systems.

Our attorneys work with industry safety experts and investigators to determine exactly what went wrong, who was responsible, and how to prove it.

Reno Explosion Injury FAQ

#faqs_start

What if I was partially at fault for the explosion?

Nevada follows a modified comparative negligence rule. As long as your share of fault does not exceed 50 percent, you can still recover compensation — though your award will be reduced in proportion to your assigned responsibility. Insurance companies frequently attempt to inflate a victim's percentage of fault to reduce what they owe. We challenge those assessments with evidence and, when necessary, expert testimony.

How do I know who is liable for my explosion injuries?

Liability in explosion cases frequently extends beyond a single party. Depending on the cause, responsibility may lie with an employer, a building owner, a product manufacturer, a utility company, or a contractor. Our attorneys conduct a thorough investigation to identify every party whose negligence contributed to your injury.

What if the explosion was caused by a defective product?

Product liability claims are a recognized category of personal injury law in Nevada. If a defective appliance, vehicle component, or piece of industrial equipment caused or contributed to the explosion, the manufacturer and potentially the distributor or retailer may be held accountable.

Can I still recover compensation if I was not at the explosion site but developed health problems from exposure to released chemicals or gases?

Yes. Secondary exposure injuries (including respiratory damage, chemical burns, and toxic poisoning) are compensable under Nevada personal injury law even when the victim was not present at the point of detonation. If you live, work, or were present near the site and suffered health consequences as a result, your claim deserves the same serious evaluation as any direct blast injury.
