Common Causes of Explosions in Tennessee
Explosions can happen in a variety of environments — industrial plants, chemical storage facilities, construction sites, and even public areas. They may result from:
- Poor equipment maintenance or unsafe working conditions
- Chemical or gas leaks
- Faulty electrical systems or wiring
- Improper handling of explosives or flammable materials
- Defective machinery, components, or protective equipment
- Employer negligence or failure to follow safety regulations
Regardless of the cause, every explosion demands a thorough investigation to determine who was responsible and how the tragedy could have been prevented.
Types of Legal Claims After an Explosion
Employees injured in an on-the-job explosion are typically entitled to workers’ compensation benefits. These benefits can help cover medical expenses, lost wages, and rehabilitation costs — but they don’t always account for the full scope of losses.
NST Law helps workers and families file and appeal claims, ensuring they receive the maximum benefits allowed under Tennessee law.
2. Third-Party Liability
If someone other than your employer (such as a subcontractor, equipment manufacturer, or property owner) contributed to the explosion, you may be eligible to file a third-party personal injury lawsuit.
This allows for additional recovery beyond workers’ compensation, including pain and suffering and full lost earnings.
Some explosions are caused or worsened by defective machinery, equipment, or components. When a faulty product contributes to an accident, the manufacturer, distributor, or supplier may be held legally responsible.
NST Law partners with engineers and industry experts to identify product defects and pursue compensation from those responsible for unsafe products.
Tragically, many explosion cases result in fatalities. Families of deceased victims may bring a wrongful death lawsuit to seek justice and financial relief for funeral expenses, loss of income, and emotional suffering.
While no amount of money can replace a loved one, holding negligent parties accountable can bring a sense of closure and long-term stability.

Explosion Injury FAQs
What should I do after being injured in an explosion in Tennessee?
Depending on the circumstances of your case, the average length of a personal injury case can take anywhere from a few months to several years. Your negotiations shouldn’t begin until you’ve reached maximum medical improvement.
Who can be held liable for an explosion accident?
Liability depends on the circumstances. Employers may be responsible under workers’ compensation laws, while manufacturers could be liable if defective equipment or materials caused the blast. In some cases, third parties—like contractors or property owners—may share responsibility.
How long do I have to file a lawsuit after an explosion injury in Tennessee?
In most cases, Tennessee law gives victims one year from the date of the explosion to file a personal injury or wrongful death lawsuit. Because this deadline is strict, it’s critical to speak with a lawyer as soon as possible to avoid losing your right to compensation.
Can I still recover damages if I was partially at fault?
Yes. Tennessee follows a modified comparative fault rule, meaning you can still recover compensation if you were less than 50% responsible. However, your total recovery may be reduced by your percentage of fault.
What types of compensation can I recover after an explosion?
Victims may recover compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, disability, and property damage. In wrongful death cases, families may seek funeral costs, loss of financial support, and emotional distress damages.
