People injured as a result of a catastrophic boiler injury may be able to seek restitution from responsible parties by filing a personal injury lawsuit. Potential defendants may include the manufacturer, the distributor, and the seller of the defective boiler. Negligent installation or maintenance can result in a lawsuit against servicers or technicians.
Boilers are used to heat water for industrial purposes, and to produce steam in power generating plants. Steels, cast irons, stainless steels and high temperature alloys are used to construct various boiler components. A boiler may malfunction for a number of reasons, including: Design defects, fabrication defects, improper installation, improper operation, and poor maintenance.
Elevated temperature and corrosion failures can also cause a catastrophic boiler malfunction. Fatigue, wear, overheating, and use of defective or improper materials are often behind dangerous boiler failures.
Boiler explosions can result when excessive pressure is allowed to build in a boiler. Boiler explosions of this type can completely destroy a building. Boiler explosions can also occur when there is a failure to purge combustible gases from the firebox before ignition is attempted. Leaking fuel valves can also be the cause of explosions. In some cases, a boiler explosion can be caused when the boiler is allowed to operate without adequate water.
