Power Plant Explosions

Power plant explosions are covered by various laws, including environmental regulations, workplace safety standards, and liability laws. Presley & Presley Trial Attorneys work diligently to secure compensation for medical expenses, property damage, loss of income, and other damages caused by power plant explosions, providing comprehensive legal support to ensure the best possible outcome for our clients.

Understanding the Impact of Power Plant Incidents

Missouri, like many states in the U.S., traditionally relied upon coal-fired power plants. Changing times caused a shift towards other forms of power production. There are 55 nuclear power plants in the U.S., including Missouri’s Callaway Nuclear Generating Station, which generates a significant amount of the state’s electricity. Other plants include those powered by natural gas, hydroelectric plants, wind farms, solar power, and others. Power plant explosions can cause severe bodily harm and fatal injuries and are often the result of one or more forms of negligence. Having the help of a knowledgeable power plant explosion attorney is vital if you or a loved one have been seriously hurt because of another’s negligence.

How We Pursue the Compensation You Need After a Power Plant Explosion

There are key steps an injury attorney on our team takes when helping the victim of a power plant accident or their surviving loved ones. Each step is critical for the process of obtaining the complete settlement you need to get your life back on track as best as can be expected.

Gathering Evidence: We collect all available evidence after the explosion including the client’s medical records, any existing photographs or video of the incident, witness statements, maintenance records, safety training records, safety policies, etc. As well as employing a forensic engineering team and other investigatory specialists as needed.
Identifying Those Liable: Based on the evidence and any other records found, our power plant explosion lawyer identifies what party or parties were negligent and responsible for the explosion occurring.
Determining Damages: Our injury attorney calculates the maximal just compensation based on current and ongoing medical expenses, lost income, lost ability to earn, and other economic and non-economic damages that the victim and their family will have to face.
Filing a Claim: We file a claim that effectively tells the client’s story, shows who is liable and what the full damages are.
Negotiation: There is usually some back and forth with the insurance company in obtaining a fair settlement. If the insurer or negligent party tries to settle for an unfair amount, we prepare to litigate.
Filing a Lawsuit: We draft and submit legal documents to start court proceedings.
Trial Preparation: This step involves organizing evidence, preparing expert witnesses or other witnesses, and any other legal documents needed.
Trial: Our seasoned personal injury attorney provides fierce representation on our client’s behalf to show the judge or jury what caused the power plant explosion and how the explosion caused the damages.
Post-Trial Actions: Depending on the outcome of the trial, we either ensure compensation is collected or appeal an unfavorable verdict.
