Common Air Compressor Injuries
What injuries could be caused by air compressors? Air compressors are often underestimated, especially since many people believe that air is harmless. Unfortunately, the high pressure in air compressors can prove to be deadly to humans. Air compressors can malfunction and break and send broken pieces of metal shooting in all directions. When air compressors explode, entire buildings could collapse on victims, leaving victims severely injured or dead. When the compressed air enters the human body, vital organs can rupture. If the compressed air enters the bloodstream, it can travel to the brain or the heart and cause strokes or heart attacks. Compressed air can also cause traumatic eye injuries. The most common injuries due to air compressors are caused by explosions. Air compressor explosions often lead to lacerations, broken bones, head injuries, brain injuries, severed limbs, and many other injuries. If you were injured as a result of an exploding air compressor, you could file an air compressor explosion injury lawsuit. Whatever the injuries you sustain, you might likely require extensive medical care and be unable to work. You have the right to compensation; do not hesitate to contact our law firm and begin your legal process today.
Liability for Air Compressor Injuries
The liability for air compressor injuries depends on the circumstances of your incident. Although air compressors are often found in the workplace, many people have them in their homes. If you suffered an air compressor injury in the workplace, you might sue your employer. If your employer failed to address issues with the air compressor, for example, he or she might be liable, and you might be eligible to file an air compressor injury workers compensation lawsuit. If your air compressor accident occurred at home even though you were following all safety procedures and directions, there might have been a defect in the product. In those cases, you might have the right to sue the manufacturer and file a product liability lawsuit. As you can see, more than one party could be liable for your injuries. If you believe that your employer or the product manufacturer could be liable for your injuries, you must seek legal assistance as soon as possible. Our experienced air compressor accident attorneys will evaluate your claim and help you identify the party who carries liability for your injuries.
Compensation Available for Your Claim
If you file an air compressor injury claim, you might be eligible to receive compensation. What determines the types and amount of compensation you might receive? The specific details of your claim—such as the severity and permanency of the injuries sustained, for example—affect the value of a claim. Although it is not possible to establish the value of a claim without the evaluation of an experienced lawyer, you should be familiar with the categories of compensation available for recovery. Victims of air compressor accident injuries might be eligible to recover the following forms of compensation:
- Medical expenses
- Lost income
- Pain and suffering
- Property damage
- Loss of consortium
- Funeral and burial expenses
- Punitive damages
Some of the categories listed above include past and projected expenses or losses. For more information on the compensation that you might be eligible to receive if you file an air compressor accident claim, you must contact our lawyers. It does not matter if you are in Los Angeles, San Diego, San Fran, Bay Area, San Jose, Sacramento, Fresno, or Bakersfield; our attorneys will fight for your right to sue and receive compensation.

Because of that, it is essential that you contact our law firm as soon as possible. Our attorneys will give you all the information you need to understand the statute of limitations that applies to your claim. A statute of limitations is a deadline to sue—it establishes the length of time that plaintiffs have to file their lawsuits. If you were injured by an air compressor, you might be subject to a two-year statute of limitations. Therefore, you might have two years from the date of your injury to file a lawsuit. However, some exceptions might apply to your claim, tolling or extending the time you have to sue.
