Damages Resulting from the TPC Explosion
Industrial explosions can cause numerous damages for employees, residents, and businesses surrounding the plant. Your claim against TPC for damages may include one or more of the following:
Property Damage
The TPC explosions damaged businesses and homes surrounding the plant. Windows and doors were blown out, debris flew through the air, homes sustained structural damage, and personal property was damaged or destroyed. The long-term effects of the explosion may not be known for some time. Homes that were damaged could develop additional damage from water leaks and mold.
Our attorneys have a network of experts who can evaluate the damage to your property. They prepare a detailed report assessing the cost of repair or replacement of property damaged or destroyed by the explosion.
Personal Injuries
Some individuals sustained immediate personal injuries from the TPC explosion. They may have been injured because of flying debris or roofs collapsing from the explosion. Other individuals may develop illnesses from the smoke and toxic chemicals that were released into the air after the explosion and during the uncontrolled fires.
If you experience any unexplained symptoms, such as coughing, headaches, sore throat, fatigue, or other symptoms, seek medical assistance immediately. A doctor can evaluate your symptoms to determine if the TPC explosion is the cause of your illness or condition.
Financial Losses
Many victims of the TPC explosion lost time from work and had significant expenses during the evacuation. Some homeowners had to relocate because their homes were not livable. A claim against TPC includes financial damages such as lost wages, evacuation expenses, and relocation costs.
Business Losses
Businesses surrounding the plant have experienced an interruption in business that has led to lost revenues, in addition to the property damage caused by the initial explosion. These companies may be entitled to compensation for property damage, but also compensation for the lost revenues and profits. Some companies may not be able to recover from the devastation caused by the TPC explosion.
