Workers' compensation rules can sometimes severely limit recovery for injured workers. That's why it is so important to thoroughly investigate the incident and all contributing factors. A thorough investigation will consider:
- Whether the explosion was caused by a defective product
- Whether the explosion was caused by the negligence of the company, a supervisor, or employee
- If there were violations of safety guidelines
- If the explosion could have been prevented
These issues can make a huge difference in how injured workers and their families are able to get compensation.
