A home should be a safe place—but when explosions occur due to faulty gas lines, defective appliances, or neglected repairs, the consequences can be catastrophic. Fires, structural collapses, and serious injuries often follow, leaving tenants and homeowners devastated and searching for answers.
At JRJ LAW we know how complex these cases can be—and we know where to look for liability.
Who Can Be Held Responsible?
- Landlords or property managers who fail to maintain safe living conditions
- Gas companies or utility providers who ignore reported leaks
- Manufacturers of faulty appliances or heating systems
- Contractors who performed negligent or unlicensed repair work
Under Ontario law, landlords have a duty to maintain rental properties in a state of good repair. If you’ve been injured in a home explosion due to negligence, you may be entitled to compensation for:
- Medical bills and rehab
- Loss of income
- Emotional trauma
- Pain and suffering
- Temporary or permanent displacement
What Should You Do After an Explosion?
- Call emergency services and get medical help
- Preserve evidence (photos, witness accounts, reports)
- Do not speak to insurers alone
- Contact an experienced personal injury lawyer
