Consequences of an explosion

We use our resources to determine the cause of the explosion
It is important to discover the cause of explosions to recover maximum compensation for clients. Since explosions and the fires that follow often destroy the evidence, it can be difficult to identify the responsible party. We work with experts and investigators to learn the cause of the explosion. Our legal team of attorneys, industrial engineers and medical specialists works to get at the truth of the accident.

Our firm handled one of the largest explosion cases in New England
At the Jahn Foundry in Springfield in 1999, chemical resins caused an explosion that killed three workers and seriously burned another nine. Attorney Raipher D. Pellegrino was part of the legal team representing the victims. The team negotiated a $35 million settlement on behalf of the dead and injured workers. In all our explosion cases, Raipher Pellegrino and our lawyers work hard to maximize compensation and obtain justice.
