Why Choose O’Connor & Partners, PLLC for Explosion Injury Cases
Explosions are among the most terrifying and destructive events a person can experience. Whether caused by a residential gas leak, a workplace chemical reaction, or a defective product, the aftermath is often catastrophic. Victims are left with life-altering injuries—severe burns, blast trauma, and permanent scarring—while facing a mountain of medical bills and lost income.
When the stakes are this high, you cannot afford to have just any lawyer. You need a team with the resources, experience, and tenacity to take on powerful utility companies, manufacturers, and insurance giants.
O’Connor & Partners, PLLC has established itself as a leading authority in catastrophic injury law across New York. From the Hudson Valley to the Capital District, here is why we are the right choice to fight for you after an explosion.
Unmatched Experience in Catastrophic Injury Law
Explosion cases are legally and scientifically complex. They are not standard “slip and fall” claims. They require a deep understanding of:
- Fire Science & Engineering: Determining the exact point of origin and ignition source.
- Medical Complexity: Understanding the long-term prognosis of burn injuries, skin grafting, and blast-force trauma.
- Regulatory Codes: Identifying violations of OSHA, NFPA (National Fire Protection Association), and local municipal safety codes.
At O’Connor & Partners, PLLC, we have decades of experience handling high-stakes personal injury cases. We do not just process claims; we build comprehensive legal strategies backed by forensic evidence to prove exactly who is responsible for your pain.
The Resources to Investigate and Win
One of the biggest challenges in explosion cases is the “David vs. Goliath” dynamic. The defendants are often massive entities—utility providers, industrial conglomerates, or construction firms—armed with armies of lawyers and unlimited budgets.
We level the playing field. O’Connor & Partners, PLLC has the financial resources to:
- Hire Top Experts: We work with fire origin experts, structural engineers, and medical specialists to validate your claim.
- Preserve Critical Evidence: Evidence in explosion cases can disappear literally overnight. We act immediately to secure the scene and prevent spoliation of evidence.
- Litigate for the Long Haul: We are not afraid to take a case to trial if the insurance company refuses to offer a fair settlement.
We Understand the Full Scope of Your Damages
An explosion injury affects every aspect of your life. A quick settlement offer from an insurance company rarely covers the true cost of your recovery. We fight to secure compensation for everything you have lost, including:
- Past and Future Medical Care: Surgeries, skin grafts, physical therapy, and pain management.
- Lost Wages & Earning Capacity: If your injuries prevent you from returning to your trade.
- Pain and Suffering: Compensation for the physical agony and emotional trauma of the event.
- Permanent Disfigurement: The psychological and social impact of scarring.
