Here are some of the ways our compassionate lawyers help you get maximum compensation after an explosion.
Gather Evidence

How to File a Durham Explosion Damage Claim
According to North Carolina General Statutes (G.S.) § 1-52, the statute of limitations is three years for personal injury claims, but we recommend you file your initial claim as soon as possible.
Here are the steps you should take to file a claim for an explosion involving injuries.
Document Your Losses
Take pictures or videos of the property damage your building sustained and the injuries people suffered in the explosion. This visual evidence makes a strong claim to show just how much the explosion affected your business.
Create an Inventory
Make a list of every item that was damaged in the explosion and all the injury-related expenses from people who were hurt in the blast so you can provide your insurer with a comprehensive list of losses.
Get Estimates
Restoration companies can give you estimates on how much it will cost to repair your business. You can use these quotes to help show the insurance company why you’re asking for so much money.
Submit Accurate Information
Without exaggerating anything, you should provide the insurance companies with evidence to back up every dollar you are asking for.
An experienced attorney can help you ensure you’re submitting all the appropriate information.
