Home and Property Damage Due to Blasting in West Virginia

We Are Your Trusted Property Damage & Blasting Injury Lawyer

Has blasting for coal mining excavation or fracking in the mountains of West Virginia resulted in serious damage to your home, property, or health? The detonation of explosives used in blasting projects produces powerful shock waves that are capable of obliterating rocks, as well as anything within the blast radius, including your property and body. In addition, any gas present may become highly pressurized. The energy from the blast is capable of maintaining its destructive energy as it travels outward from the site of detonation. Despite the strict government regulations, monitoring, and reporting requirements, damages frequently occur due to the inherent nature of the blasting process. Homes and businesses located near blasting zones may experience damage from flying debris and structural collapse, while those located at some distance may suffer damages including cracked plaster or drywall, crumbling mortar and masonry, foundation damage, ceiling collapse, water leaks, and popped nails. Carbon monoxide leaks may also occur as utility lines and fixtures are damaged.
