Explosions in West Virginia Gas Drilling Accidents

A gas drilling accident explosion is one of the most dramatic events you may ever experience, both on account of the incident itself and for the long term consequences it may have for your future. The injuries from such an accident, from second and third-degree burn injuries to broken bones and damage to internal organs, can be life threatening and will usually require major emergency medical treatment. You could spend weeks or months recovering from the accident, and some injuries caused by explosions, such as scarring and disfigurement, will never fully heal. The financial impact of your accident may also be significant, because you will be confronted with large medical bills at a time when you have been forced out of work by your injuries. If an explosion killed a family member, you have lost not only your livelihood, but also the companionship of your loved one.
