Common Causes of Construction Site Explosions
Construction sites contain numerous hazards that can cause severe injuries or death if safety protocols are neglected or improperly followed. Explosions at construction sites can be caused by:
- Gas leaks
- Faulty electrical wiring
- Defective or poorly maintained heavy equipment
- Improper handling or storage of flammable materials
Federal and state regulations require employers to maintain safe working environments for all employees. Many construction-related fatalities and serious injuries could have been prevented if employers had followed proper safety protocols and not acted negligently.
When employers fail to meet their legal obligations and workers are injured as a result, those employers should be held accountable.
Compressed Gas Cylinders Pose Serious Explosion Risks
Compressed cylinders containing extremely flammable gases are commonly found at construction sites. Acetylene is used to power welding, cutting, brazing, and soldering of metal, while propane is often used to fuel forklifts and other heavy machinery.
Both gases are inherently dangerous and can cause explosions when mishandled or improperly stored. Compressed gas can also cause chemical burns, poisoning, and asphyxiation.
The production, handling, and storage of compressed gas cylinders are heavily regulated. Manufacturers and employers are legally required to:
- Inspect and test cylinders regularly for defects
- Store cylinders properly and securely
- Chain bottles to walls to prevent breakage
- Store cylinders in shaded areas to prevent overheating
- Provide proper training to all workers on how to safely use and handle gas bottles
When employers or manufacturers fail to follow these safety regulations and an explosion occurs, they can be held liable for the resulting injuries.

Common Questions About Personal Injury Cases in California
If you’ve been injured, you probably have questions about how the legal process works, what it costs, and how long you have to take action. Here are straightforward answers to the questions we hear most often from injured Californians.
How much does it cost to hire a personal injury lawyer?
Nothing upfront. We work on a contingency fee basis, which means we only get paid if we recover compensation for you. You pay no attorney fees unless we win your case.
How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in California?
In most cases, you have two years from the date of your injury to file a claim. However, some cases have shorter deadlines, especially claims involving government entities. It’s important to speak with an attorney as soon as possible to protect your rights.
How is the value of my case determined?
Every case is different. The value depends on factors like the severity of your injuries, your medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and how the injury has affected your daily life. We review all of these factors during your free consultation.
What if I was partially at fault for the accident?
California follows a “comparative negligence” rule, which means you can still recover compensation even if you were partly responsible. Your settlement may be reduced by your percentage of fault, but you’re not automatically disqualified.
How long does a personal injury case take?
It depends. Some cases settle in a few months, while others, especially those involving serious injuries or disputes over fault, can take longer. We move as quickly as possible while making sure you receive fair compensation.
Do I have to go to court?
Most personal injury cases settle out of court. However, we prepare every case for trial to strengthen your negotiating position and ensure you’re not pressured into accepting less than you deserve.
